		<description><![CDATA[JPMorgan Chase &#38; Co. (JPM) is scheduled to report its first quarter 2012 results before the market opens on Friday, April 13. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter is $1.17 per share, representing a year-over-year slump of about 9%. After profit declines for two straight quarters, we expect JPMorgan to report impressive numbers this quarter as it is wont to do. Marked recovery of the bond and equity market and consequent revenue growth forms the basis of our assumption. Though there are fundamental pressures like low interest rates and sluggish loan demand growth on the sector, improving macroeconomic elements, such as rising consumer spending and lower unemployment, are expected to bring revenue stability for JPMorgan and the other major U.S. banks. However, JPMorgan has been fighting with poor capital market ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Capital One Financial Corp. (COF) reported fourth-quarter 2011 earnings from continuing operations of 89 cents per share, significantly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.53.  This also compares unfavorably with $1.88 earned in the prior quarter and $2.07 recorded in the year-ago quarter. For the full year, Capital One’s earnings per share from continuing operations was $7.03, up 5% from $6.68 in the prior year. However, earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.55. The year-over-year results were adversely impacted by an increase in operating expenses and higher provision for loan and lease. However, these negatives were, to an extent, mitigated by higher revenues. Moreover, the company’s capital and profitability ratios showed improvement. Capital One’s net income from continuing operations for the quarter was $411 million, down 52% from $965 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) released its Activity Report for November 2011. Concurrently, the company has provided an updated outlook for the fourth quarter of 2011. The 4Q Guidance Schwab expects its fourth quarter results to decline sequentially. Lower net interest margin (NIM), volatile global equity market and slow client trading activity will be the chief reasons behind this drop. Schwab anticipates continued acceleration in prepayments of agency issued mortgage-backed securities held in the company’s investment portfolio due to lower interest rates. This rise in prepayments will likely add pressure to the bottom-line. Schwab also stated that higher prepayments will lead to higher-than-expected amortization of related purchase premiums. This in turn may result in a dip in NIM. Now, the company is anticipating the fourth quarter NIM to be ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[State Street Corporation (STT) reported third quarter 2011 operating earnings of 96 cents per share, which were significantly ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 88 cents. However, the results were flat sequentially and favorable with the prior-year quarter earnings of 86 cents. State Street’s operating results, however, exclude certain discount accretion related to former conduit assets, restructuring charges related to reduction in staff and merger and integration costs. On a GAAP basis, earnings for the quarter came in at $1.10 per share compared with earnings of $1.00 in the prior quarter and $1.08 in the year-ago quarter. Better-than expected results in the quarter were mainly due State Street’s initiatives to lower expenses and rise in net interest income. Also, the company reported strong capital ratios. However, lower non-interest income ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TCF Financial Corporation’s (TCB) second-quarter 2011 earnings came in at 19 cents per share, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents. Moreover, this compares unfavorably with the earnings of 20 cents in the prior quarter and 32 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 deposits growth. Net income came in at $29.8 million in the reported quarter, modestly in line with the prior quarter and down from $45.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Performance in Detail Net interest income (NII) was relatively flat year over year at $176.2 million, while it inched up 1.3% sequentially. The sequential improvement was attributable to the increase in the higher-yielding inventory ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SunTrust Banks Inc.’s (STI) second quarter earnings came in at 33 cents per share, slightly ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 31 cents. This represents SunTrust’s fourth straight quarter of profit after incurring significant losses since mid 2008. Earnings were also substantially better than the loss of 11 cents in the year-ago quarter. Despite the adverse impact of seasonal and economic factors, results for the reported quarter benefited from a substantial decline in provision for credit losses, a slight improvement in revenue and better credit quality. However, lower non-interest income and higher non-interest expenses were the downsides. SunTrust’s net income came in at $178 millioncompared with $180 million in the prior quarter and $12 million in the prior-year quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter is $2.42 per share, representing a decline of about 12% from the year-ago quarter. We expect Goldman to benefit from its well managed global franchise, strong capital base and industry leading position in trading and asset management. Moreover, improved client activity and overall revenue enhancement in the last qaurter, along with Goldman’s prudent business model and strong fundamentals, are expected to deliver better earnings. However, regulatory issues, including lawsuits, are expected to dent the financials of the company in the upcoming quarters.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter is $1.21 per share, representing a growth of about 11% over the year-ago quarter. Same as before, it is expected that JPMorgan will surpass estimates backed by an improvement in equity markets, further reduction in reserves for future losses and strong credit trends in its credit card and wholesale businesses. However, weak trading and retail performances might mar results to some extent. Also, there are concerns related to listless customer trading in fixed income, currencies and commodities. Furthermore, expenses related to the settlement of SEC charges in the CDO deal are expected to dent results slightly. Previous Quarter Performance JPMorgan’sfirst quarter earnings ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We continue to maintain our long-term “Neutral” recommendation on JPMorgan Chase &#38; Co. (JPM). Although we anticipate continued synergies from a reduction in reserves for future losses, business diversification and strong capital deployment activity, the effect of the foreclosure mess, along with legal and regulatory challenges, and the pressure on net interest margin (NIM) due to a low interest rate environment will drag down future earnings. However, we believe that with a rebound in the global equity and debt markets, JPMorgan’s equity-centric activities will likely bolster results and boost the bottom line going forward. Additionally, JPMorgan is on track with its global expansion plans. The company’s recruitment of a large number of talented employees in Asia and other emerging markets would enhance its asset management business. Also, JPMorgan’s credit quality ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are reiterating our Neutral recommendation on People&#8217;s United Financial Inc. (PBCT) backed by the company’s better-than-expected first-quarter 2011 earnings. In April, People&#8217;s United reported first-quarter 2011 operating earnings per share of 15 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. Moreover, earnings compared favorably with 10 cents per share reported in the prior quarter and 8 cents in the prior-year quarter. The modest improvement in results was attributable to higher net interest margin (NIM) and enhanced revenue, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses and increased provision for loan losses. Despite an asset sensitive balance sheet, People’s United continues to pose a modest capital position with capital ratios exceeding each of the regulatory requirements. Its tangible equity ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 13.9% and 14.8%, respectively, as ]]></description>
