- Thursday, March 14, 5:14 PM After hours movers in the banks: JPM -2.5% and GS -2.1% after the two had their capital proposals approved but were asked to submit new plans "to address weakness in their capital planning processes." WFC +0.4%, BAC +3.8% after no dividend hike, but a whopping $10.5B in share repurchases and redemption of high-yielding preferreds. Morgan Stanley +0.9%. The XLF +0.1%. 18 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, December 17, 2012, 6:50 PM Financials add to the regular session's big gains as Meredeth Whitney gets bullish on the sector, particularly Bank of America, Citigroup, and Discover. The catalyst for the group will be the March release of the Fed's stress tests showing them adequately capitalized, paving the way for more share repurchases and dividend bumps. BAC +2.1%, C +0.5%, DFS +2.3%, XLF +0.4% AH. 8 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 9:44 AM Bank of America (BAC +2.2%) takes out a new 52-week high, rising on back of the Citigroup's plan to cut 11K jobs. Citi will take a $1B charge in Q4, but save more than $2B over two years - a pretty nice return on investment. The XLF +0.7%. 11 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Friday, July 20, 2012, 12:29 PM It's a "risk off" day for European financials (EUFN -3.4%), after Spain's expected bank bailout approval is accompanied by a weak GDP forecast. Unsurprisingly, Spanish banks are the biggest losers: SAN -7.7%. BBVA -8.4%. U.S. banks are only doing better by comparison (XLF -1.3%). 8 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 1:03 PM The 30 bp decline in Bank of America's (BAC) net interest margin represents $1.27B in lost quarterly earnings power, says Josh Steiner, a "hit (that) is recurring, not one time." This deterioration in bank's underlying business may help explain the sharp decline in the stock (-4% today, -4.8% yesterday) despite a headline beat on earnings thanks to a large reserve release. 8 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Thursday, June 28, 2012, 6:25 AM It's setting up to be a bad morning for financials. Barclays (BCS) -8.6% premarket as pressure grows for Diamond to quit, and JPMorgan (JPM) -5.2% on reports its trading loss could hit $9B. Perhaps in sympathy, other financial names are also dropping, outpacing the pullback by S&P futures: BAC -1.5%, MS -1.15%, C -1%, WFC -1%. 11 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Friday, October 7, 2011, 1:48 PM Financials are trading lower, possibly due to Fed president Dennis Lockhart's earlier comments that regulators "can't guarantee" against the failure of individual financial firms, nor have they put a system in place that would allow orderly failures of the largest financial firms without taxpayer rescues: Goldman Sachs (GS -5.4%), Morgan Stanley (MS -6.5%), JP Morgan (JPM -5%), Bank of America (BAC -5.6%), Citigroup (C -5.2%), American International (AIG -4.7%). 2 Comments [Financials, On the Move, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, August 29, 2011, 3:13 PM It's not just the mega financial names like BofA (BAC +6.6%) and Citigroup (C +4.1%) moving higher today after a decent day for European and economic news, a whole slew of brokerage firms and investment banking companies are joining the party. Strong gainers include: PJC +8.11%, JEF +6.9%, KBW +5.9%, RODM +5.4%. 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, August 15, 2011, 5:15 PM Financial stocks recouped some of their early-August losses today. Bank of America (BAC +7.9%) headlined the winners, thanks to its credit card business sale and positive news regarding its Countrywide lawsuits, but other big names also got a lift. MS +6.1%. AIG +6%. C +4.8%. WFC +3.7%. STI +5.9%. USB +3.7%. Comment! [Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, August 1, 2011, 11:11 AM Shares of First Niagara Bank (FNFG -4.5%) remain lower even after S&P affirms its BBB rating and stable outlook following the firm's announcement it will acquire 195 branches from HSBC (HBC). Fitch Ratings also weighed in with a BBB rating, citing the company's proven track record of integrating banks. Comment! [Financials, On the Move]
- Friday, July 15, 2011, 9:08 AM Citigroup (C) remains on track to meet Basel III requirements and reward investors with dividends and share buy-backs. The firm's CFO says it expects to return capital to shareholders next year, and stay within its target Tier 1 Common Capital Ratio. Shares +3% premarket. Comment! [Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, July 11, 2011, 2:26 PM Analysts expect more bad news later this week for investment banks, already stinging from Europe contagion, when earnings come in. Research from Credit Suisse suggests 1Q trading revenue could be 25% lower. Banks are mired in red: BAC -3%, JPM -2.8%, C -3.8%, WFC -2.1%, MS -2.8%, GS -1.6%. 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move, Earnings]
