Haverhill Financial Research · Watchlist · Updated October 12, 2026
Why these ten
Ten of the largest US banks report between Tuesday and Friday, opening third-quarter earnings season. Together they show how households borrow and repay, whether businesses are taking loans, and how Wall Street deal-making is doing.
The first six report on Tuesday and Wednesday. PNC, BNY, U.S. Bancorp and Truist follow on Thursday and Friday, which gives a second read on regional lending and deposit costs before the week is out.
The watchlist
What would change the mood
Good sign: card losses flat or lower than last quarter at JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Bank of America, alongside rising loan balances.
Good sign: investment-banking fees up strongly from a year ago at both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
Good sign: commercial loan growth at PNC and U.S. Bancorp, a sign that businesses are borrowing to invest again.
Warning sign: more than one card lender reporting higher charge-offs and adding to reserves for future losses.
Warning sign: banks cutting their net interest income guidance for the full year, or regional banks like Truist paying more to hold on to deposits.
How this connects to our coverage
U.S. Bancorp (#91, Hold) is the one bank here on the Haverhill Hundred, but several Hundred names read directly off these results. Stifel Financial (#88, Buy) depends on the deal recovery Goldman and Morgan Stanley will describe. LPL Financial (#28, Buy) and Charles Schwab (#55, Hold) track the same client-asset trends as Morgan Stanley's wealth unit. See the full list in the Haverhill Hundred, and the wider season in our Q3 earnings preview.
