Morgan Stanley and BofA 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.

2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks With Seemingly Impenetrable Moats That Can Have Their Palantir Moment in 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already transforming many industries, but not all tech companies will benefit equally. The competitive moats established by Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) could be significant as AI grows, resulting in impressive gains similar to how AI darling Palantir Technologies has benefited recently. There are no guarantees that these two companies will see their share prices rise by more than 800% like Palantir's have over the past two years, but their competitive positions are certainly setting them up for success.
