		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 10/14/11 While the earnings season kicked off this past week, only 38 firms reported. The game really gets under way next week, when we will get reports from 336 firms, including 99 members of the S&#38;P 500. Thus, by the end of the week we will have a very good idea of how the overall season will go. Not only will there be a lot of reports, but many of those we get will be very important ones. The table at the end of this report reads like a who’s who of American industry, including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and McDonald’s (MCD). And that&#8217;s just the first half of the alphabet! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) announced to charge fee on cash deposits of institutional investors following the surge in deposit balance with the banks. Investors having accounts with average deposit of over $50 million in the bank would come under the purview of charges. BNY Mellon will be charging a 13 basis points annual fee on excess deposits and an extra fee if short-term Treasury bills give negative yields.

There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ). That is an interesting cross section of U.S. business. We have a relatively light economic data calendar, so earnings should be front and center, along with the sovereign debt situations on both ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on Northern Trust Corporation (NTRS) based on favorable acquisition spree and global expansions of the company. In May 2011, Northern Trust agreed to acquire Omnium LLC, a leading hedge fund administrator, from Citadel. The acquisition of Omnium, which has around $70 billion in assets under administration, will enhance Northern Trust’s capabilities and create an industry-leading hedge fund administration platform for institutional investors. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, and is expected to close by the third quarter of 2011. Northern would pay at least $100 million for this acquisition. Omnium will be integrated into Northern Trust’s Corporate &#38; Institutional Services business unit as Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services, LLC. It will provide comprehensive administrative and middle office services including ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded our recommendation on Huntington Bancshares Inc. (HBAN) to Neutral from Underperform on the back of fundamentals, better-than-expected first quarter 2011 results, current economic environment and the recent credit trends. Huntington Bancshares reported first quarter 2011 earnings of 15 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 12 cents. However, after including a one-time addition to litigation reserves, Huntington reported a profit of $126.4 million or 14 cents per share. This compares favorably with $122.9 million or 5 cents per share earned in the prior quarter and $39.7 million or 1 cent in the year-ago quarter. Huntington’s better-than-expected earnings reflected a significant improvement in credit quality, a modest growth in loans and deposits, increase in net interest margin and low levels of non-interest expenses. However, the company’s top line ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve requires more banks to submit their capital plans annually to prove their financial ability to confront another recession. The Federal Reserve will also hold the right to ban capital deployment activities of unsuccessful banks. This is part of Federal Reserve’s effort to closely monitor capital ratios of banks and identify systematic risk in advance in order to avoid recurrence of the latest federal bailout program. According to a proposal on Friday, the Federal Reserve said that it will extend its existing list of 19 big banks that are subject to the capital assessment scheme to 35. The Fed expects the proposal to be finalized later this year and the capital review for these banks will be compulsory by 2012. According to the ruling by the Federal Reserve, ]]></description>

In April, Northern Trust reported first-quarter 2011 earnings of 59 cents per share, which was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 65 cents. The decrease was attributable to low interest rate environment, which in turn, negatively affected net interest margin. In the reported quarter, earnings per share benefited from the reduction of an indemnification liability related to Visa Inc. (V). The related pre-tax expense reduction summed up to $10.1 million ($6.4 million after tax, or 2 cents per share). Despite the current sluggish environment, the company has made further investments in businesses to continue to serve the clients in the U.S. and around the world.

M&#38;I’s results for the reported quarter suffered mainly due to lower net interest income and non-interest income. However, decrease in non-interest expenses and provision for loan and lease losses were the positives. Also, the company’s credit quality showed mixed results during the quarter. M&#38;I’s first quarter net loss came in at $142.0 million as against $140.5 million reported in the comparable period last year. Quarter in Detail M&#38;I’s total revenue for the reported quarter stood at $538.6 million, down 14.6% from $630.8 million in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday, April 19, 2011 Following the uncomfortable reminder from the S&#38;P yesterday about the nation&#8217;s financial health, stocks will likely go back to &#8216;normal&#8217; behavior today. Helping the market shift its focus is positive earnings reports from two major firms and a better-than-expected housing report. The overall positive tone of the day&#8217;s news flow should help stocks claw back some of the losses from Monday. On the busy earnings calendar this morning, we got upbeat reports from two key blue-chip operators, Goldman Sachs (GS) and Johnson &#38; Johnson (JNJ). We have Intel (INTC) and IBM (IBM) reporting after the close today. Goldman came out ahead on both EPS and revenue, dispelling apprehensions that the Wall Street titan&#8217;s fall in the global M&#38;A league tables had minimal impact on earnings. Offsetting the deal-making &#8216;softness&#8217; was trading strength, which came in much more stronger than expected.

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded our recommendation on Northern Trust Corporation (NTRS) to Underperform from Neutral, as the current operating environment is putting pressure on earnings. Though we expect the company to benefit from rising interest rates, more visibility is needed to get positive on the stock. In January, NTRS’s fourth-quarter earnings of 64 cents per share were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 71 cents. The decrease was due to a low interest rate, which in turn negatively affected net interest income and trust fees. NTRS’s net interest margin (NIM) has been shrinking for the past eight quarters. NIM is expected to remain under pressure driven by the low interest rate environment amid weakening industry-wide credit trends. We also expect the company to suffer from weak loan demand in several of the markets ]]></description>

BOISS, the fund administration unit of Bank of Ireland (IRE), comprise the fund administration, investment operations outsourcing and custody business of the bank. Dublin-based BOISS is the largest Irish-owned asset administration provider of specialised, client-driven services to a broad range of funds, including mutual money-market, multi-manager, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and property funds, serving both the on-shore and off-shore markets.

		<description><![CDATA[Northern Trust Corporation’s (NTRS) fourth quarter earnings of 64 cents per share were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 71 cents per share. The decrease was attributable to low interest rate environment, which in turn, was negatively affected by net interest income and trust fees. In the fourth quarter of 2010, earnings per share benefited from the reduction of an indemnification liability related to Visa Inc. (V). The related pre-tax expense reduction summed up to $20.3 million ($12.9 million after tax, or $.05 per common share). Last year, the company reported a profit of 82 cents per share and 64 cents in the prior quarter.  Net income reported was $157.1 million compared with net income of $200.3 million in the prior-year quarter and $155.6 million in the prior quarter.

The company has already been providing custody, trustee, private equity and hedge fund services to Babson Capital since 2001. With the expansion of its global business, the expanding relationship provides Babson Capital an opportunity to use State Street’s expertise in global operations.

State Street, which provides services for middle office assets worth more than $6 trillion globally, should also experience its top-line benefiting from the deal.

Low interest rates continue to restrain earnings, impacting net interest income and securities lending fees. Moreover, the recent Dodd-Frank Act will ring in numerous regulatory changes over the next several years. Our six-month target price of $44.00 per share equates to about 15.2x our estimate for 2010.

Northern Trust’s second quarter earnings of 78 cents per share outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4 cents, reflecting a somewhat improved market and new business. However, the low interest rate continues to restrain Northern Trust’s earnings, impacting net interest income and securities lending fees. Net interest margin has shrunk over the past six quarters. As the low interest rate environment is expected to persist, we expect interest margin to remain under pressure. Additionally, Northern Trust continued to experience asset quality pressure, witnessed by an increase in nonperforming assets. In fact, the company continues ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Northern Trust Corp.’s (NTRS) fourth quarter earnings of 64 cents per share were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 72 cents. Last year, the company reported a gain of 61 cents per share. Earnings benefited mainly from a decrease in loan loss provisions. Net interest income totaled $240.1 million, down 17% year over year. Net interest margin (NIM) was 1.44%, down from 1.68% in the prior-year quarter. The decline in NIM and the resulting impact on net interest income is a result of the significant drop in interest rates, which has dramatically reduced the interest rate spread on short-term assets and the value of non-interest related funds. Non-interest income increased 8% year-over-year to $667.5 million due to an increase in trust, investment and other servicing fees, partially offset by lower ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Northern Trust Corp. (NTRS) is scheduled to release its first quarter 2010 earnings on April 20, 2010, before the opening bell. Management has not provided any financial guidance for the quarter. Interest rates are resting at historic lows, where they appear they will stay for much of 2010. This adversely impacts the company’s net interest income, securities lending and money market mutual fund fees. Market volatility is lower than it was a year ago, impacting foreign exchange trading income, which is expected to decline by mid-single-digits. Credit quality is a major concern for Northern Trust at this point. The company continues to suffer from the weakness in the broader economic environment. Credit metrics such as non-accrual loans, nonperforming assets and net charge-offs have increased over the prior-year levels. Northern Trust’s ]]></description>

Last year, the company reported a gain of $1.47 per share. Net income was $200.3 million versus $342.3 million last year.

		<description><![CDATA[Acknowledging State Street Corp.’s (STT) improvement in capital and liquidity position, on Tuesday, Fitch upgraded some of the ratings for the company. Fitch Ratings raised the individual and preferred stock ratings of State Street and subsidiary State Street Bank and Trust Co. to &#8220;B/C&#8221; from &#8220;C&#8221; and also lifted the preferred stock rating of State Street&#8217;s trust preferred subsidiaries one notch in investment grade status to &#8220;BBB+&#8221; from &#8220;BBB&#8221;. However, Fitch maintained the issuer default ratings of State Street and its subsidiaries at &#8220;A+/F1+&#8221;. The favorable Fitch ratings reflect the company’s stability in its capital position and the cash reserves which have also enhanced its liquidity position. Moreover, the increase in the tangible common equity (TCE) ratio to 5.7% of tangible assets in the third quarter from 5.0% in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Northern Trust Corporation’s (NTRS) second quarter earnings of 72 cents per share were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 84 cents. Last year, the company reported a loss of 56 cents per share. Net income was $187.9 million versus a net loss of $148.3 million last year. Net interest income totaled $248.2 million, down 7.0% year-over-year. Net interest margin [NIM] equaled 1.54% in the quarter, 8 basis points lower than that of last year. The decrease in NIM and net interest income reflects the diminished value of non-interest-related funding sources resulting from significant interest rate cuts over the past year. Non-interest expenses totaled $599.2 million in the reported quarter, down 48.0% year over year due to a fall in Visa indemnification charges. Non-interest income increased 1% year over year to ]]></description>
