In fact, this prompt responsiveness has positioned the banks well to encounter upcoming challenges. Along with improving results in recent quarters, a major recovery in the asset markets, improving balance sheets and declining credit costs promise growth for the U.S. banking sector. Yet the outlook for the industry remains in question due to several negatives, including asset-quality troubles, weak revenue growth, steeper costs, continuation of both residential and commercial real estate loan defaults, weak loan demand, and the impact of tighter regulations and policy changes.

Yet, the outlook for the industry remains in question due to several negatives, including asset-quality troubles, the continuation of both residential and commercial real estate loan defaults, weak loan demand, and the impact of tighter regulations and policy changes. After enduring overwhelming recessionary shocks, the U.S. banking industry is now slowly recovering. 2010 can be certainly characterized as a year of reform. Financial support from the U.S. government ultimately transformed to comparative stability during the year. The government had taken several steps, including programs offering capital injections and debt guarantees, to stabilize the financial system. Also, the banks are working hard to address problem credit, primarily in residential and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TCF Financial Corporation’s (TCB) first quarter 2011 earnings came in at 20 cents per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares unfavorably with the earnings of 22 cents in the prior quarter and 26 cents in the prior-year quarter. Decreased non-interest income, increased non-interest expenses, sluggish economic recovery and increased regulatory trouble have affected the quarter results. These negatives were partly offset by decline in non-performing assets. Net income came in at $29.7 million in the reported quarter, down from $30.7 million in the prior quarter and $33.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Performance in Detail Net interest income (NII) was $174.0 million, down 0.4% from $174.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline was attributed to reposition of higher yielding fixed-rate consumer real estate loans to ]]></description>
