Morgan Stanley and Bank of America report robust Q4 earnings

Big Bank earnings are rolling out this week, with Morgan Stanley (MS) and Bank of America (BAC) more than doubling in quarter four after a spike in dealmaking. Mac Syke, Gabelli Funds portfolio manager, joins Morning Brief to discuss earnings season and the banks’ surge in quarter four. Syke discusses the favorable environment for banks today. "We now have a normalized curve, so instead of the inversion [there is] a pretty normalized real rate," he explains. "We have regulations that are going to be easier, so that boosts M&A." Syke also adds that the "consumer activity has been very good." Additionally, Syke points to how Bank of America's trading underperformed compared to rivals but says repricing of legacy investments is "going forward over the next several years" to boost net interest income. Watch the video above to hear Syke's full insights on how these factors are shaping the future of Big Bank earnings.

How the LA wildfires may hit Big Bank earnings in 2025

Howard Capital Management CEO and CIO Vance Howard joins Wealth host Brad Smith to discuss his earnings outlook amid the Los Angeles wildfires. Howard warns that the Southern California fires could trigger bank defaults, potentially impacting earnings. "I don't think people have calculated that in yet because it just happened over the past three or four or five days," he explains. He advocates "patience" with bank stocks, noting that if defaults increase, earnings could be affected through the third and fourth quarters. With nearly 12,000 homes lost in Los Angeles, Howard predicts some homeowners may walk away from their mortgage obligations. "That's something to think about," he comments. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) touted record annual profits of $58 billion for 2024 in its latest earnings results. Looking beyond the banking sector, Howard identifies Salesforce (CRM) as a potential outperformer for 2025.
