Five of the six biggest U.S. banks report on the same day this week. That almost never happens.
Goldman Sachs goes first on Monday. JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citi, BlackRock, and Bank of America all drop on Tuesday - the biggest day for bank earnings in years. Morgan Stanley and Netflix close out the week on Thursday.
What Wall Street Expects
The numbers should look strong. Goldman is set to post sales of $16.9 billion - up 12% from a year ago.
Wells Fargo should show profit growth above 10%. Citi's is set to rise about 15%.
JPMorgan is the one to watch. It touches every part of the money world - retail banking, Wall Street trading, and fund management. Its results set the tone for the whole season.
The Real Story
Strong Q1 numbers were mostly set before the Iran war heated up in late February. What matters more is what bank CEOs say on their calls - loan demand, credit health, and whether tariff chaos is hurting business faith.
BlackRock runs more than $10 trillion. Its data on where big money is flowing - in and out - is the best look at what large investors are doing right now.
What to Watch
Netflix reports Thursday too. Wall Street expects about 15% profit growth. The market has been rewarding beats and punishing misses harder than usual this year, so the outlook matters more than the top-line number.
