'This is just the beginning' for bank profit growth: CFRA analyst

The financials sector is showcasing a strong earnings performance this season, as major banks Bank of America (BAC), Morgan Stanley (MS), Citigroup (C), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), and Wells Fargo (WFC) reported a combined 19% increase in net income for 2024. CFRA Research Director of Global Fundamental Research Ken Leon joins Market Domination to offer his analysis on the banking industry’s outlook. “With a US economy growing 2.5%, there's two sides of what gets you to net interest income. One is rates, which maybe we'll say stays or goes, [and] one cut," Leon explains. He states the "volumes off of a US economy growing [at] 2.5% is very positive." Additionally, Leon examines how regulatory changes, particularly under a pro-business Trump administration, could further benefit banks. "We have new actors in important roles, not only at the [Federal Reserve] but across all the organizations, whether it's the FDIC [Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation], the Department of Justice, the FTC [Federal Trade Commission]," Leon notes. He believes this will "open up markets" and will allow the country to see a "pro-business, pro-economy" environment the nation hasn't seen in four years.
