Bank Stocks' Earnings to Watch on Apr 27: ISBC, GWB & More
Read MoreHide Full Article
Most of the banks that have reported results so far have delivered better-than-expected numbers, thanks primarily to an improving rate scenario. Naturally, market sentiments for the industry have recovered to quite an extent.
The results of mega banks indicate improvement in trading revenues, supported by strength in fixed income, currencies and equity trading. Moreover, the industry is likely to witness an increase in investment banking fees based on robust M&A activity during the quarter, as well as higher debt and equity underwriting.
Notably, per the latest Earnings Preview, overall earnings for the S&P 500 stocks in the finance sector are expected to be up 14.8% year over year in the first-quarter 2017.
Here is how the results are expected for the four banks that are likely to report on Apr 27.
Investors Bancorp, Inc. is set to report first-quarter 2017 results after the market closes. Despite the stock currently carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), chances of it beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate cannot be conclusively predicted because it has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
