- Zacks Earnings Trends Highlights: JPMorgan, Citigroup, Bank of America and Wells Fargo
Zacks' earnings trends report shows Q3 earnings for the 32 S&P 500 members that have reported so far are up 52.5% year on year on 15.8% higher revenue, with 81.3% beating EPS estimates and 71.9% beating revenue estimates, though Micron's outsized gains boosted the growth rate. Earnings growth is expected to be double-digit for an eighth straight quarter, with 14 of 16 Zacks sectors forecast to grow. Despite headline earnings misses at JPMorgan and Bank of America, the big banks posted strong Q3 results, with net interest income up at all four and equities trading strong while fixed-income trading fell. Their shares have still weakened, as investors weigh interest rate volatility and a possible slowdown in trading revenue. Reported results covering 33% of the Finance sector's market capitalization show earnings up 10%.
- Bank of America Falls 5% as $1.2B Money Laundering Penalty Drives Earnings Miss; JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo Hold Steady
Bank of America stock fell 5% to $51 in morning trading after its third-quarter 2026 results missed expectations for revenue and adjusted earnings. The main cause was a $1.2 billion money laundering penalty imposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which cited weaknesses in Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering and sanctions safeguards and concluded the bank had effectively outsourced its compliance obligations. Adjusted EPS was $1.08 against a $1.10 consensus, and revenue was $29.96 billion against a $30.58 billion estimate, while the non-tax-deductible penalty cut GAAP EPS by $0.17. The charge also ended a streak of six consecutive quarterly beats. Meanwhile, net interest income rose 8% to $16.45 billion and average loans grew 6% to $1.23 trillion, but investment banking fees fell 11% and fixed income, currencies and commodities trading revenue dropped 17%.
- JPM, Citi, Wells Fargo Or Goldman Sachs: Which Big Bank Is The Better Buy After Q3 Results?
Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase all reported third-quarter results, and their shares closed lower as the results were seen as disappointing. Goldman Sachs posted net profit up 29% to $5.29 billion with EPS of $17.01 beating estimates, while Citigroup's net income rose 40% to $5.25 billion. JPMorgan Chase reported $50.17 billion in revenue and $15.3 billion in net income, a rare miss against consensus, and raised its 2026 net interest income outlook to $106.2 billion. Wells Fargo beat EPS estimates with $1.87 per share but missed on revenue, and expects roughly $13 billion in fourth-quarter net interest income and roughly $50 billion for full-year 2026. Goldman kept 'Buy' ratings on JPM, WFC and C but cut price targets, such as JPM to $392 from $398.
- We're upgrading our rating on Wells Fargo as the stock's pullback offers a nice entry point
Wells Fargo shares dipped 2% after the bank reported mixed third-quarter results, with revenue up 2% to $21.9 billion, below the $22.3 billion consensus. Earnings per share rose 13% to $1.87, beating the $1.85 consensus. Net interest margin stabilized at 2.43%, above the expected 2.41% and ending four straight quarters of decline, while ROTCE rose to 16.3%. The efficiency ratio was 63%, slightly worse than expected, and tangible book value per share reached $44.46, below expectations. The analyst upgraded the stock to buy-equivalent (from 2 to 1), kept a $95 price target, and said the roughly 6% pullback since early September could present a buying opportunity.
- Take-Two Interactive Slides 5% as Wells Fargo Trims Estimates Behind $300 Target; Roblox Holds Flat, GameStop Barely Budges
Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) fell 5% to $197.72 and is down 23% year to date after Wells Fargo trimmed near-term bookings and adjusted EBITDA estimates on weaker assumptions for its basketball franchise and mobile business. Wells Fargo kept its Overweight rating and $300 price target because its Grand Theft Auto VI unit assumption sits well above what Take-Two's current fiscal-year guidance implies. The firm expects third-quarter fiscal 2027 guidance to come in below consensus. Roblox was flat at $49.60 and GameStop fell 0.5% to $27.11, while the broader S&P 500 ETF was down 0.1%, suggesting the decline is largely company-specific.
- JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, and Citi earnings show consumers holding up despite high rates
Three major banks, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Citigroup (C), reported third-quarter results showing US consumers and businesses remained resilient despite higher rates, with spending and lending up from a year earlier and loan losses largely contained. JPMorgan's average credit card loans rose 7%, and its card charge-off rate fell to 2.91% from 3.15%. Citigroup said US card spending rose 11%, with charge-offs improving to 3.6% from 4.0%. Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf said consumers are spending more and delinquencies are low, while JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon was more cautious, warning that another percentage-point rate rise could be particularly painful as borrowers refinance at higher costs. Citi and Wells Fargo both increased loan-loss provisions from a year earlier, while JPMorgan's rose from the previous quarter.

- Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Price Lags Massive Earnings Growth—A Compelling Value Opportunity
Munro Partners' Munro Global Growth Fund posted a -12.6% net return in Q3 2026, trailing the MAET.ASX return of -13.8%, with long holdings the main detractors. The fund's letter named NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) its largest contributor, citing strong earnings growth and guidance for at least 70% revenue growth next fiscal year, versus consensus of 45%.

- Salazar Resources to Begin Drilling the Yumi Gold-Silver Veins at Tarqui, with Porphyry Drilling Planned at Monja, Ecuador
Salazar Resources closed a $3,500,000 non-brokered private placement announced on October 8, 2026, and outlined its exploration plan. Phase 1 is about 1,500 metres of drilling in five holes at the Yumi gold-silver veins on its 100%-owned Tarqui project, with drilling expected to begin in late October 2026, and the veins have not previously been drilled. Selective rock-chip samples returned 105 g/t Au and 1,038 g/t Ag, and historical BHP holes intersected porphyry-style mineralization nearby, which the company interprets as lying on the periphery of a porphyry center not yet located. Phase 2 contemplates up to about 3,500 metres of drilling in four holes at the 100%-owned Monja copper-gold porphyry target from the first quarter of 2027, subject to surface access and permits. A soil survey of about 895 samples is also planned at Quimi, part of the Tarqui-Quimi project.
- Musk: AI’s Hard Part Is “Scaling Power”: 3 Stocks Uniquely Suited to Win This New Bottleneck Trade
Microsoft said it will scale its Maia chips to multi-gigawatt deployments starting next calendar year, and Elon Musk said scaling power is the hard part of AI. The article argues power is an input that chip and app companies cannot copy quickly, which favors Vistra (VST), Constellation Energy (CEG) and GE Vernova (GEV). Vistra has lost nearly a fifth of its value over the past year even though its adjusted EBITDA rose to $5.91 billion, while Constellation's normalized EPS is expected to reach $13.29 in fiscal 2027. GE Vernova's revenue is expected to reach $60.7 billion by fiscal 2028, and Jefferies has a $298 price target on Vistra. The article warns that all three stocks could move with the mood around AI, regardless of their results.
