A political firestorm erupted on Wall Street Wednesday as speculations surged that President Donald Trump could fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell before his term ends, reigniting fears <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">over central bank independence. </a>



Powell's current term runs until May 2026. Legal scholars and market participants have long debated whether a sitting president has the authority to fire a Fed chair without evidence of misconduct—a move that would almost certainly spark a constitutional crisis and rattle global markets.



If Trump goes through with firing Powell, it would mark the first time in modern U.S. history that a president attempts to remove a Federal Reserve chair without cause. 



On Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market platform, the probability of Powell being ousted by the end of 2025 has climbed to over 20%, its highest level since April.

This uptick in political risk comes after a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/16/us/politics/trump-powell-firing-letter.html">New York Times report</a> revealed that Trump had shown a draft letter firing Powell during a closed-door meeting with House Republicans.



Trump reportedly waved the letter in the Oval Office, polling GOP lawmakers on whether he should act.



While the president later claimed he had "no imminent plans" to remove Powell, he openly admitted, "I talked about the concept of firing him. I said, ‘what do you think?' Almost every one of them said I should."



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Producer Inflation Softened In June</h2>



On Wednesday, the Trump-Powell feud escalated further after the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) report revealed that inflationary pressures <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46440481/producer-prices-rise-less-than-expected-inflation">are continuing to ease</a>. 



U.S. producer prices were flat in June, missing estimates for a 0.2% gain and down from a 0.3% increase in May. The decline was driven by a 0.1% drop in services costs, with a sharp 4.1% fall in traveler accommodation services leading the slide. Prices also declined in retail auto parts, airline fares, and food and alcohol wholesaling. 



Goods prices rose 0.3%, mainly due to an uptick in communication equipment, gasoline, electricity, and some food items. On a year-over-year basis, PPI cooled to 2.3%—its slowest pace since September 2024—while core PPI came in flat for the month and slowed to 2.6% annually, both below expectations.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accusations Over $2.5 Billion Fed Renovation</h2>



Adding fuel to the fire, Trump and his allies—including Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte—have started targeting the Fed's $2.5 billion renovation project, suggesting it may provide grounds for Powell's removal "for cause."



In a post on X, Pulte wrote: "Who spends $2.5 billion on a renovation? I believe there is strong legal basis to terminate Jerome Powell, and for cause. He has destroyed the independence of the Fed."



A day earlier, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Bloomberg TV that a "formal process" has begun to identify Powell's successor, though he later clarified that firing Powell was "highly unlikely unless he has to leave for fraud."



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Might Replace Powell?</h2>



As speculation builds over Powell's possible removal, attention is quickly turning to who could take the helm at the Fed. 



According to Kalshi odds, Kevin Hassett leads the field with a 34% chance of being nominated, followed by Kevin Warsh at 32%, Christopher Waller at 18%, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at 14%.



Each candidate brings a different policy stance, with both Hassett and Warsh seen as more aligned with Trump's preference for looser monetary policy—a stance that could significantly shift the Fed&#8217;s current trajectory if Powell is ousted.

Trump-Powell Feud Heats Up: Odds Of Fed Chair Ouster Spike

Sarepta Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) shares are soaring in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session after the company announced a strategic restructuring and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46454162/sarepta-therapeutics-announces-strategic-restructuring-and-pipeline-prioritization-plan-to-maintai">cost-cutting measures</a>.



What To Know: After the market close on Wednesday, Sarepta Therapeutics introduced a strategic restructuring plan that involves focusing on high-value, high-impact programs and supporting long-term financials.



Sarepta said it initiated immediate changes to reduce operating expenses, including a 36% workforce reduction and a pipeline reprioritization.



The changes are expected to drive approximately $400 million in annual cost reductions and lower the company&#8217;s average annual research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses to between $800 million and $900 million starting in 2026. Sarepta anticipates $100 million in cost savings through the end of 2025.



&#8220;Faced with environmental changes, we have decided to act decisively, implementing a focused strategy to ensure Sarepta remains a vibrant, financially enduring, patient-centric organization dedicated to improving the lives of those with rare genetic diseases,&#8221; said Doug Ingram, CEO of Sarepta Therapeutics. 



&#8220;These changes will ensure we remain a financially strong and profitable organization built on a sharpened and focused strategy.&#8221;



In connection with the announcement, Sarepta reported preliminary financial results for the second quarter. The company said it expects to report second-quarter net product revenue of $513 million. 



Sarepta had $850 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments as of June 30. 



The company also announced several new executive leadership changes, including the appointment of Ian Estepan as president and COO and Ryan Wong as CFO. Louise Rodino-Klapac was named president of R&amp;D and technical operations, Rachael Potter was appointed as chief scientific officer and Patrick Moss was named chief commercial officer.



SRPT Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/srpt">Sarepta Therapeutics shares</a> were up 38.08% at $25.38 in after-hours trading at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Sarepta Therapeutics Stock Is Surging After The Bell: What's Going On?

This morning, I woke up to the sound of pounding rain on the roof of my bus and a generator that made me decide to take the day off. Add in some flash flooding, a Wi-Fi signal riding on Starlink, and it's already been a day to remember.



But even with all that going on, I had to get a story out to you because we've officially entered one of my favorite times of the year: earnings season.



This isn't just any earnings season, either. It's the second quarter (Q2) earnings, when the biggest batch of reports hits. But while most traders are busy guessing whether a stock will beat or miss expectations, we're going to take a different approach.



So today, I want to walk you through how I'm trading earnings this quarter, the patterns I'm spotting, and the stocks I've got on my radar right now.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FREE LIVE EVENT: "It's Like NVIDIA at $10 All Over Again"</h2>



Tim Melvin is seeing the same setup that preceded NVIDIA's historic run. For the first time ever, he's partnering with trader Anne-Marie Baiynd to reveal where the next explosive opportunities are hiding. [Get Free Access <a href="https://events2.benzinga.com/next-10x-winner/?utm_campaign=072325-webinar&amp;el=ResearchDaily&amp;he={{email}}&amp;adt_ei={{email}}&amp;utm_adType=SponsorAd&amp;utm_ad=RD071725">HERE</a>]



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Most Traders Blow It on Earnings</h2>



Let's get something out of the way: trading earnings the day before the announcement is a bad idea.



That's what I call "meme trading" or the "Robinhood crowd" mentality. You buy a call because you hope the stock will go up—or a put if you think it'll tank—and hold through earnings. That's a quick way to lose money, even if you're right on direction.



Why? Because of the volatility crush.



Implied volatility usually surges leading into earnings. But once the report drops? Volatility falls off a cliff—often faster than the stock price can move in your favor. That means even if you're "right," you can still lose money because the time premium gets obliterated.



So, what's the better play? Trade the setup, not the outcome.



That means you want to get in one to two weeks before earnings, not the day before. And you want to get out before the report hits, selling to someone else who's willing to pay top dollar for all that pumped-up volatility.



I call it "scalping the implied volatility wave."



Now, if I can pair that volatility ramp with a strong directional pattern, that's where the real edge comes in. Some stocks tend to drift higher (or lower) into earnings like clockwork. And when price and volatility rise together, that's our signal to strike, which brings me to a few setups I've got my eye on.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pan American Silver</h2>



I've been watching Pan American Silver (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>) for a while. Over the last four quarters, PAAS has sold off in the week leading up to earnings, and each time, implied volatility has spiked. That's a textbook setup for put buyers.



Now, earnings aren't coming until August 6, but that gives us time to prepare. I'll be watching closely for the next dip and any IV surge. If we see both, I'll be looking to grab short-term options and ride them for a few days before the announcement.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AbbVie</h2>



AbbVie (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) is the opposite of PAAS. This one has a bullish pattern leading up to earnings, with the stock moving higher ahead of the last few reports. Same deal—volatility ramps, price climbs, and that creates a sweet spot for call options.



Earnings drop on July 30, so again, we've got time. I'll be eyeing this one about 10 days out, especially if we see any early pullbacks that offer a cheaper entry.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Matters And What To Do Next</h2>



A lot of traders think earnings are binary: either the stock beats expectations and pops, or it misses and crashes. But that's not how the smart money trades.



We're not gambling on outcomes, we're stacking probabilities.



We're looking for patterns that have played out multiple times, we're aligning with the natural volatility cycle, and we're getting out before the crowd even shows up.



Remember, I track the top 325 stocks every quarter to find these patterns. PAAS and ABBV are just two names with strong historical setups—but they're not the only ones. The more you study these moves, the easier it gets to spot consistent winners.



This week, I'll be running more scans and breaking down a few ETF setups as well (seasonality is back in play). And of course, I'll be keeping one eye on the headlines. After all, even a strong earnings setup can get shaken up by the 24/7 news cycle.



Until then, keep your watchlists tight, your entries clean, and your exits earlier than everyone else.

My Top 2 Earnings Picks For This Earnings Season

United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) reported second-quarter financial results after the market close on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46454110/united-airlines-reports-second-quarter-profit-sees-third-quarter-positive-inflection-in-both-suppl">of the report</a>.



Q2 Earnings: United reported second-quarter revenue of $15.27 billion, missing the&nbsp;<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/UAL/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate</a>&nbsp;of $15.35 billion. The airline company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.87 per share, beating analyst estimates of $3.77 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.



Premium cabin revenue was up 5.6% year-over-year and basic economy revenue climbed 1.7%. Loyalty revenue was up 8.7% year-over-year and cargo revenue rose 3.8%.



Capacity was up 5.9% on a year-over-year basis. TRASM (total revenue per available seat mile) was down 4% while CASM (cost per available seat mile) increased 0.6% year-over-year.



United generated $2.2 billion in operating cash flow and $1.1 billion of free cash flow in the second quarter. The company ended the period with $18.6 in total liquidity and $27.1 billion in total debt and finance lease obligations.



&#8220;Our&nbsp;second-quarter&nbsp;performance was more proof that the United Next strategy is working. I am extremely proud of the team for executing a strong operation and navigating through a volatile macroeconomic period, while still growing earnings and pre-tax margin for the first half of the year,&#8221; said&nbsp;Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines. 



&#8220;Importantly, United saw a positive shift in demand beginning in early July, and, like 2024, anticipates another inflection in industry supply in mid-August.&#8221;



Outlook:&nbsp;United lowered its full-year 2025 earnings outlook. The company now expects full-year earnings of $9 to $11 per share, down from prior guidance of $11.50 to $13.50 per share. Analysts are forecasting full-year earnings of $10.05 per share.



&#8220;Beginning in early July, United has seen a sequential six point acceleration in demand and a double-digit acceleration in business demand versus the second quarter. The airline attributes this to less geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty,&#8221; the company said.



United said it will provide guidance for the third quarter on its conference call Thursday at 10:30 a.m. ET.



UAL Price Action: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Airlines shares</a> were down 1.37% in after-hours, trading at $87.20 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

United Airlines Q2 Earnings: Revenue Miss, EPS Beat, Lowered FY25 Guidance Despite 'Positive Shift In Demand' In Early July

Each year, FTSE Russell recalibrates its U.S. indexes to ensure they accurately represent the evolving market. The Russell 1000 Index, comprising the largest 1,000 U.S. companies by market cap, saw some notable additions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46313915/tom-lee-calls-robinhood-morgan-stanley-for-gen-z-draws-1980s-wall-street-broker-analogy-to-explain-fintechs-rise">exclusions in 2025.&nbsp;</a>



Reconstitution: The Russell Index reconstitution ranks among the busiest trading days of the year, as asset managers rebalance portfolios to align with the updated index components. 



This year's event set a new record when 2.5 billion shares changed hands in just 0.9 seconds, representing a staggering $102.4 billion in traded securities, according to Jeff Buchbinder, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial.

Russell 1000 Additions: The Russell 1000 Index welcomed 37 new constituents in its latest reconstitution, with 19 companies promoted from the Russell 2000 Index, which includes the next 2,000 largest U.S. stocks. 



The remaining 18 additions were primarily new entrants to the Russell Index family, with 17 of them joining for the first time, including two recent IPOs: SailPoint, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAIL#NASDAQ">SAIL</a>) and Karman Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRMN#NYSE">KRMN</a>). 



Core Scientific, Inc. (CORZ), previously a micro-cap stock outside the Russell 3000, made an enormous leap directly into the Russell 1000. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Notable Russell 1000 Additions:&nbsp;</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>)&nbsp;</li>

</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notable Russell 1000 Exclusions:&nbsp;</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLA#NASDAQ">NKLA</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLAQ#OTC">NKLAQ</a>)&nbsp;</li>



<li>Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>)&nbsp;</li>



<li>Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYND#NASDAQ">BYND</a>)&nbsp;</li>



<li>Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>)&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



While Rivian was added to the Russell 1000 this year, other EV makers, Nikola and Lucid, were removed from the index. Green energy company Plug Power and Beyond Meat were also excluded.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaway</h3>



While it is crucial to understand the Russell reconstitution and how sector indexes' compositions have changed, LPL Financial advises that the best course of action may be to "stay the course."



"For investors considering adjustments to their portfolios following these changes, we suggest staying patient while keeping in mind that volatility may pick up over the next few weeks around tariff headlines, incoming inflation data, the upcoming earnings season and historical seasonal weakness," Buchbinder said.&nbsp;

Rivian Unseats Lucid, DraftKings Ousts Plug Power In Russell 1000 Shake-Up

Volatility surged across interest rate-sensitive assets Wednesday after reports circulated that President Donald Trump may be preparing to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46430675/trump-powell-june-inflation-fed-rate-cuts">Powell from his post.</a> The rumors sparked fears over the Fed's independence, triggering a broad flight to gold and a sell-off in the U.S. dollar.



While Wall Street was mostly flat during midday trading in New York, traders were on edge, digesting the potential implications of a leadership shake-up at the central bank. Speculators are already positioning for a more dovish monetary path, anticipating that Powell&#8217;s possible ouster could accelerate future interest rate cuts.



Gold prices jumped sharply, soaring from $3,325 to over $3,377 per ounce within minutes before paring gains to around $3,350.



Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rallied 1.2% to $119,000, benefiting from dollar weakness and renewed demand for decentralized assets.



The U.S. dollar index fell 0.3%, on track to snap a four-day winning streak. At the same time, Treasury yields edged slightly lower as bond traders priced in increased political and monetary policy uncertainty.



Economic data released Wednesday added fuel to the rate-cut narrative. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46440481/producer-prices-rise-less-than-expected-inflation">Producer Price Index was flat in June</a>, down from a 0.3% gain in May and below the 0.2% consensus forecast. On a year-over-year basis, producer prices rose 2.3%, the slowest pace since September 2024 and softer than the 2.5% economists had expected.



Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was also unchanged in June. The annual rate dropped to 2.6% from a revised 3.2% in May, falling short of the 2.7% consensus.

Gold, Bitcoin Surge As Trump Eyes Powell Ouster: What's Moving Markets Wednesday?

A day after the Consumer Price Index reignited concerns over sticky inflation, Wednesday's Producer Price Index (PPI) offered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46413961/june-inflation-cpi-report">a more benign view. </a>



Producer prices were flat in June, down from May's upwardly revised 0.3% increase and coming in below the 0.2% consensus estimate. On an annual basis, PPI slowed to 2.3%, the lowest since September 2024, also weaker than the expected 2.5% and down from 2.7% in May.



Core PPI, which strips out food and energy, also was also flat during the month, softer than the 0.2% forecast. The year-over-year rate cooled to 2.6% from an upwardly revised 3.2% previously, and 0.1 percentage point below the economist consensus.



Communication equipment led gains, rising 0.8%. Prices for gasoline, electricity, poultry, meat, and tree nuts also increased. Chicken egg prices plunged 21.8%. Plastics and natural gas liquids declined.



Service prices slipped 0.1% in June, after a 0.4% rise in May. Core services fell 0.1%. Transportation dropped 0.9%, while trade margins were flat.



Hotel prices dropped 4.1%, leading the decline. Auto retailing, airline fares, and deposit services also fell. Portfolio management fees increased by 2.2%, driven by gains in machinery and apparel retailing.



The softer PPI print comes just one day after headline CPI inflation surged to 2.7%—its highest level since February—and monthly CPI rose 0.3%, marking the biggest increase in five months. 



That report gave political cover to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who has resisted President Donald Trump's demands for immediate rate cuts.

June Producer Prices Flat—Is Inflation Finally Cooling?

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/07/46404410/bitcoin-shatters-all-time-high-to-hit-123-000-as-ethereum-cracks-3-000-and-xrp-taps-3">new all-time highs</a> last week, and a new poll now gauges whether it will retreat to $100,000 or rally toward $150,000 next.



What Happened: Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $123,091.61 on July 14. The milestone underscored the optimism felt by investors ahead of what Congress members dubbed "Crypto Week,&#8221; in which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46424764/trump-wishes-bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-happy-crypto-week-it-is-all-part-of-make-america-great-again">several cryptocurrency-related bills</a> are up for vote.



Bitcoin pulled back on Tuesday as the bills failed to gain traction in Congress, but it remains ahead of levels seen last week.



Benzinga recently polled its users on social media to ask where Bitcoin could trade next.



"With Bitcoin at record highs, what's the more likely move from here?" Benzinga asked on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/benzinga/?hl=en">its Instagram page.</a>



The results were:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Pulls back to $100,000: 47%</li>



<li>Breaks out to $150,000: 53%</li>
</ul>



The poll found that a slim majority believe Bitcoin could continue to set new all-time highs and hit the $150,000 milestone first before returning to $100,000 or under six figures.



Benzinga also polled its users on Threads with the same question:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Pulls back to $100,000: 54%</li>



<li>Breaks out to $150,000: 46%</li>
</ul>



That poll, which had significantly fewer responses than the Instagram poll, saw respondents take the other side of the options. A pullback to the $100,000 level won the poll with 54% of the vote.

Why It's Important: The contrasting results of the polls and slim majorities could indicate that investors are divided on what will happen to Bitcoin in the second half of 2025.



This follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46053846/will-bitcoin-hit-new-all-time-highs-after-dip-under-100k-heres-what-new-poll-predicts">a June poll </a>conducted by Benzinga asking if Bitcoin would hit new all-time highs after its dip under $100,000 or would head back to the five-figure range. At the time with Bitcoin trading at $107,500, the poll was split 50%, 50%.



The price of Bitcoin would later hit new all-time highs and has yet to go below the $100,000 level since the poll was conducted.



Another&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45871245/exclusive-bitcoin-to-hit-200k-in-2025-15-say-yes-while-many-see-new-all-time-highs-coming" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent Benzinga poll in May&nbsp;</a>asked readers to predict the highest price Bitcoin will hit before the end of the year.



&#8220;Bitcoin hit new all-time highs of nearly $112,000 in May 2025. Do you believe this will be the top price for BTC in 2025 or will the leading cryptocurrency hit new highs later this year?" Benzinga asked.



The results were:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bitcoin will hit $112K to $130K: 32%</li>



<li>Bitcoin will hit $130K to $150K: 24%</li>



<li>Bitcoin will hit $150K to $200K: 15%</li>



<li>Bitcoin will hit $200K+: 15%</li>



<li>Bitcoin has already topped at $112K: 14%</li>
</ul>



The 14% who predicted that Bitcoin had already topped in 2025 ended up being wrong. So far, the top answer of the $112K to $130K range are right. Time will tell if Bitcoin can hit one of the higher ranges before the end of the year.

</ul>



The study was conducted by Benzinga from July 14, 2025, through July 16, 2025. It included the responses of a diverse population of social media followers. Opting into the survey was completely voluntary, with no incentives offered to potential respondents. The study reflects results from 3,470 people on Instagram and 89 people on Threads.

Net revenue rose 15% year over year to $14.58 billion, topping the consensus estimate of $13.36 billion, though it declined 3% from the prior quarter.



GAAP earnings came in at $10.91 per share, up from $8.62 a year ago and above the $9.48 consensus. First-half EPS rose to $25.07 from $20.21 a year earlier.

Provision for credit losses increased to $384 million, compared with $282 million a year ago and $287 million last quarter, driven by credit card charge-offs and portfolio growth.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Segment Highlights</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Global Banking and Markets revenue jumped 24% to $10.12 billion, led by a 26% rise in investment banking fees and strong performance in FICC (up 9%) and equities (up 36%).</li>



<li>Asset and Wealth Management revenue declined 3% to $3.78 billion due to lower returns from equity and debt investments, partially offset by higher fees and lending income. Wealth management client assets totaled approximately $1.7 trillion.</li>



<li>Platform Solutions revenue edged up 2% to $685 million, as gains in consumer platforms were offset by softer transaction banking results.</li>
</ul>



Operating expenses climbed 8% to $9.24 billion, driven by higher compensation and transaction-based costs. The firm's efficiency ratio improved to 62.0% for the first half, down from 63.8% a year ago.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Key Metrics</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">

<li>Loans rose quarter over quarter, with an average balance of $215 billion. Loan loss reserves totaled $5.29 billion, split between wholesale ($2.82 billion) and consumer ($2.47 billion).</li>



<li>Net Interest Income surged 56% to $3.10 billion, driven by lower funding costs, on $1.65 trillion in average interest-earning assets.</li>
</ul>



Goldman returned $3.96 billion to shareholders during the quarter, including $3 billion in buybacks and $957 million in dividends.



On July 14, the Board increased the quarterly dividend to $4.00 per common share from $3.00, payable on September 29, 2025, to common shareholders of record on August 29, 2025.



The firm's Standardized CET1 capital ratio stood at 14.5%, while the Advanced CET1 ratio declined to 15.5%. Return on average common equity was 12.8% for the quarter and 14.8% for the first half. Book value per share rose 1.6% to $349.74 in the second quarter, up 3.9% year to date.



David Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, commented, "At this time, the economy and markets are generally responding positively to the evolving policy environment. But as developments rarely unfold in a straight line, we remain very focused on risk management. Given the strategic decisions and investments we've made, we continue to believe that the firm is well-positioned to perform for our shareholders."



Price Action: GS shares were up 0.78% at $708 in premarket trading on Wednesday at last check.

The delay shows &#8220;there&#8217;s an understanding you can&#8217;t put up a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility overnight,&#8221; Wolk told Bloomberg. &#8220;As long as those conversations continue to occur, I think we&#8217;re in a pretty good position.&#8221;



The report added that the company reduced its expected tariff costs for this year by half to $200 million.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook</h2>



Johnson &amp; Johnson revised its fiscal year 2025 guidance.

Johnson & Johnson Lifts Annual Forecast After Strong Cancer Drugs, Medtech Performance

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives delivered an optimistic outlook for Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and the broader tech and crypto markets, predicting a $5 trillion market capitalization for the tech giant led by Jensen Huang.



Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NVDA stock here.</a>



What Happened: In a <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/kabc-podcasts/mottek-on-money-07-15-25#description">podcast</a> &#8220;Mottek On Money,&#8221; hosted by Frank Mottek, Ives highlighted Nvidia&#8217;s recent surge past $170 per share, driven by a pivotal U.S. decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46407517/nvidia-resumes-h20-shipments-to-china-as-jensen-huang-meets-trump-beijing-officials-fully-compliant-rtx-pro-aims-to-bridge-ai-cold-war">allow its H20 AI chips</a> into China, calling it a &#8220;watershed decision&#8221; that could add $30 to $40 billion annually to the company's revenue. 



Ives boldly predicted, &#8220;I think it's on a march to $5 trillion,&#8221; underscoring Nvidia's potential to become the world's most valuable company, surpassing its current $4.17 trillion market cap.



This bullish stance comes as the Nasdaq also hit a record high, fueled by an AI revolution entering its &#8220;software phase, the consumer phase,&#8221; according to Ives. He envisions a tech bull market, forecasting the Nasdaq could reach 22,000 to 25,000 by year-end.



Further, Ives celebrated Nvidia CEO Huang's &#8220;Beltway political battle&#8221; win with the China deal and Donald Trump's $90 billion AI investment push, calling it a &#8220;golden age&#8221; where the U.S. leads China in tech.



He dismissed China's AI efforts, like DeepSeek, as reliant on Nvidia GPUs, reinforcing his belief that &#8220;we're still in the second inning&#8221; of the AI boom.

Why It Matters: The discussion extended to cryptocurrency, with Ives noting Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climb above $123,000 and Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) resurgence past $3,000.



He attributed this to a &#8220;regulatory environment&#8221; with the Trump-led administration and growing investor appetite, predicting, &#8220;I think we're going to have a very strong second half of the year&#8221; for both Bitcoin and Ethereum.



Ives suggested tariffs would likely be delayed or scaled down, creating a &#8220;bullish for tech, bullish for crypto&#8221; environment.



Price Action: As of the publication of this article, Bitcoin was trading at $119,226.33 per coin, down from its all-time high of $123,091.61. Whereas Ethereum was at $3,155.72, 35.38% below its record of $$4,891.70.



Nvidia was 0.57% lower in premarket on Wednesday. the stock has advanced 23.42% on a year-to-date basis and 35.09% over a year.

Nvidia Is 'On A March To $5 Trillion' Market Capitalization, Says Dan Ives As He Predicts Bullish Environment For Tech And Crypto: 'Very Strong Second Half'

U.S. stock futures swung between gains and losses on Wednesday after ending on a mixed note on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.



President Donald Trump unveiled what he described as a &#8220;landmark&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46434093/trump-says-hes-finalized-the-trade-deal-with-indonesia-touts-orders-for-50-boeing-jets-will-china-face-tougher-times-ahead">trade pact with Indonesia</a>, providing U.S. businesses with access to the Southeast Asian country, while securing significant agreements for American aviation and energy firms. 



Markets were also assessing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46430675/trump-powell-june-inflation-fed-rate-cuts">Tuesday&#8217;s CPI report</a>, showing inflation accelerated in June. In recent months, Jerome Powell has consistently resisted political pressure to lower interest rates, maintaining a wait-and-see approach amid growing uncertainty from rising tariffs. 



Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.48% and the two-year bond was at 3.95%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Cues From Last Session:



On Tuesday, information technology stocks defied the broader market downturn, closing higher, while financial, materials, and healthcare stocks recorded the most significant losses.



U.S. stocks settled mixed, influenced by a mixed bag of earnings from major banks.



In contrast, the Nasdaq 100 surged to new record highs, breaking past the 23,000 mark, powered by a sharp rally in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and other chipmakers.



Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter adjusted EPS, and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) also reported upbeat second-quarter earnings.



Economic data showed U.S. inflation accelerating for a second consecutive month, with the headline consumer price index rising 2.7% year-over-year in June, the highest since February and in line with expectations.



However, core inflation, excluding food and energy, came in slightly below forecasts at 2.9%, against an expected 3.0%.



The Dow Jones index ended 436 points or 0.98% lower at 44,023.29, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index fell 0.40% to 6,243.76. Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.18% to 20,677.80, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, also tumbled 1.99% to end at 2,205.05.

Louis Navellier said that the &#8220;Wall Street has finally figured out that this is how President Trump negotiates, namely by making the other side increasingly uncomfortable,&#8221; citing that stock market is largely ignoring the latest tariff news, such as 30% tariffs on the European Union (EU) and Mexico, and a whopping 50% on Brazil on Aug. 1st.



He added that &#8220;the CPI report is not a market mover, so the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Wednesday should provide more insight, especially any tariff impact on wholesale goods prices.&#8221;



Meanwhile, Ed Yardeni highlighted that the CPI report for June suggests that inflation is no longer declining toward the Fed&#8217;s 2.0% target. Instead, it might continue to hover around 3.0% for a while, as it has recently.



&#8220;Trump&#8217;s tariffs may be a contributing factor, though their impact remains debated. The core CPI inflation rate upticked to 2.9% last month, hinting that the core PCED inflation rate (at 2.7% in May) might have followed a similar trend.&#8221;



&#8220;The June CPI report reinforces the FOMC&#8217;s cautious stance,&#8221; Yardeni added.



Although Trump&#8217;s tariffs may not yet be significantly driving inflation, they appear to be contributing to inflation stalling at around 3.0%, supporting the FOMC&#8217;s hesitation to lower the FFR, he explained.

US Futures Trade Mixed As June Inflation Ticks Up: ASML, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BofA Earnings In Focus

Dutch semiconductor company, ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), warned investors that its growth outlook for 2026 is now under a cloud, citing rising macroeconomic uncertainties and escalating trade tensions.



Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASML" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ASML stock here.</a>



What Happened: During the company&#8217;s second quarter results on Wednesday, ASML&#8217;s CEO, Christophe Fouquet, said <a href="https://www.asml.com/en/news/press-releases/2025/q2-2025-financial-results">in</a> a statement, &#8220;while we still prepare for growth in 2026, we cannot confirm it at this stage,&#8221; citing growing uncertainties driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical developments.



He adds that the fundamentals of AMSL&#8217;s key AI customers remain strong, but acknowledges the growing threat of tariffs.

&#8220;Tariffs on new systems and parts going into the U.S., as well as reciprocal measures from other countries, could impact our gross margin,&#8221; Fouquet says.



The company, nonetheless, witnessed strong bookings during the quarter, at $6.4 billion, compared to consensus estimates at $5.6 billion, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-16/asml-orders-beat-expectations-after-ai-investment-fuels-demand">to</a> a report by Bloomberg. 



Its forecast for third quarter sales, however, estimated between $8.6 billion and $9.2 billion, fell short of analyst consensus estimates.



Why It Matters: While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">semiconductors were exempt</a> from President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding chipmaking equipment. 



During its second quarter results, ASML posted $8.9 billion in sales, ahead of consensus estimates at $8.7 billion, with a profit of $2.66 billion, against estimates at $2.37 billion. 



Price Action: Shares of ASML were up 2.02% on Tuesday, trading at $823.02, but are now down 7.10% after hours, following its second quarter results.

Trump's Tariff Threat Casts Shadow Over ASML's 2026 Growth Plans, Despite Strong Q2, AI Momentum

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;is reportedly set&nbsp;to sign an executive order&nbsp;that would make it easier for U.S. retirement plans to invest in private-market assets.



What Happened:&nbsp;The executive order, expected to be signed in the next few days, would direct the Labor Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue guidance for employers and plan administrators on incorporating investments such as private assets into 401(k) plans, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/trump-executive-order-to-help-open-up-401-k-s-to-private-markets-c90c6788?">reported</a>&nbsp;the Wall Street Journal.



The order is still under review and its details are not yet final. If implemented, it could potentially allow large private asset managers such as Apollo Global Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) and Blackstone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) to tap into the significant retirement savings held by workers without traditional pensions.



Although some retirement plan sponsors already allocate funds to private investments, many remain wary of potential employee lawsuits stemming from the higher fees tied to private-market products.



Industry executives believe that additional steps, such as action by Congress, will be needed to make companies more comfortable with including private-asset funds in employees&#8217; retirement plans.



Private-market fund managers have been urging the Trump administration to relax rules to allow easier inclusion of their products in retirement portfolios. Firms such as Apollo and State Street (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) have already launched target-date funds that incorporate a private-markets component.

Why It Matters: In May, the Financial Times reported that the Trump administration was considering a potential directive involving private funds in 401(k) retirement plans.



The move to open 401(k)s to private markets comes amid increasing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46372518/the-super-rich-have-a-new-favorite-alternative-investment-hint-its-not-cryptocurrency">interest in</a> private-market investments and reports of the world&#8217;s super-rich have shown a growing affinity for private credit offerings.



However, the decision to offer private equity as an investment option in workplace retirement plans has been met with criticism. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46391778/elizabeth-warren-grills-retirement-giant-empower-over-private-equity-in-401k-plans-how-you-would-shield-plan-participants">challenged Empower</a>, a major retirement plan provider, over its decision to include private equity investments for their employees.



Despite the criticism, Empower CEO Ed Murphy has defended the move, likening it to the introduction of 401(k) plans decades ago and emphasizing the importance of making private markets more accessible.

Trump Set To Sign Executive Order To Unlock 401(k) Access For Private Equity Giants Like Blackstone, Apollo: Report

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index moved to the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Tuesday.



U.S. stocks settled mostly lower on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 400 points during the session following a mixed bag of earnings from big banks. The Nasdaq 100 surged to fresh record highs on Tuesday, breaking above the 23,000 mark as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and other chipmakers powered a sharp rally.



Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter adjusted EPS results. JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) reported upbeat second-quarter earnings.



On the economic data front, U.S. inflation accelerated for a second straight month. The headline consumer price index rose 2.7% year-over-year in June, the highest since February and in line with expectations. However, core inflation, which strips out food and energy, came in slightly below forecasts at 2.9%, versus 3.0% expected.



Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with financial, materials and health care stocks recording the biggest losses on Tuesday. However, information technology stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.



The Dow Jones closed lower by 436 points to 44,023.29 on Tuesday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.40% to 6,243.76, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.18% to 20,677.80 during Tuesday's session.



Investors are awaiting earnings results from Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) and Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) today.



What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?



At a current reading of 73.6, the index moved to the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Tuesday, versus a prior reading of 76.2.



The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Bitcoin Slides Amid Uncertainty On Crypto Bills; Ethereum, Dogecoin Gain: ETH Dominance Needs To 'Convincingly Break' 10% For Bullish Bias, Says Analyst

Leading economists react to June&#8217;s Consumer Price Index report, which showed that inflation was largely in line with expectations, while speculating on what this means for Federal Reserve policy and growing tariff-related pressures.



What Happened: U.S. consumer prices rose 0.3% <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/cpi_07152025.htm">in</a> June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday, following a 0.1% increase in May. On an annual basis, the Consumer Price Index climbed 2.9%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 2.7% from the prior year.



University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers had a positive take on the results, posting on X that, &#8220;The absence of bad news is good news,&#8221; while noting that the &#8220;numbers are pretty much in line with expectations.&#8221;

Economist Mohamed El-Erian, the former CEO of Pimco, believes the figures would &#8220;undoubtedly intensify the administration&#8217;s pressure on the Federal Reserve to reduce rates,&#8221; but warned that it's &#8220;unlikely to sway most Fed officials given their stated criteria for resuming the rate-cutting cycle.&#8221;

Jason Furman, a Harvard economist and former economic advisor to President Barack Obama, posted on X with a more cautious message. 



Furman noted that while core CPI remains below 3%, key inflation segments are being distorted by tariffs. &#8220;You can see signs of tariffs in these numbers,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That is only likely to grow,&#8221; he says, pointing to unusually high prices in tariff-sensitive categories such as appliances and apparel.



Furman added that &#8220;everything ex-housing is worse for the month of June,&#8221; referring to prices excluding rent, which he sees as a reversal of prior trends. 



He also believes that companies are still working through their &#8220;pre-tariff inventories,&#8221; suggesting that the inflation could get worse going forward.

Last month, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told Congress that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46077396/powell-interest-rates-trump-inflation-tariffs">potential rate cut</a> decisions in 2025 would depend on the tariffs. 



&#8220;Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity,&#8221; Powell told lawmakers, acknowledging risks to both consumer prices and business investment.

Economists On June CPI Numbers: 'The Absence Of Bad News Is Good News' — But Fed 'Unlikely To Sway' On Interest Rates

On Tuesday, Jensen Huang-led Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) applauded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/07/46423852/nvidias-china-chip-deal-signals-new-tailwind-for-chip-and-ai-etfs">Washington's AI strategy</a> after Donald Trump's AI advisor, David Sacks, highlighted the need for U.S. tech to outpace global adversaries by becoming the international standard.



What Happened: Nvidia's Newsroom X handle said, "Washington gets it: Winning the AI race means making the American stack the global standard," while sharing a video of Sacks on CNBC.&nbsp;



In the video, Sacks can be heard saying, "We have to basically export American technology around the world," adding, "We want American technology to be the global standard&#8230; We want data centers across the world to be adopting the American technology stack."



Trump's on AI and crypto czar drew parallels between Silicon Valley&#8217;s success and the nation's AI ambitions, stressing that winning means building the biggest ecosystem globally.

Nvidia Says 'Washington Gets It' After Trump's AI Czar David Sacks Says US Has To 'Outcompete' Global Rivals

President Donald Trump's repeated calls for aggressive rate cuts collided with economic reality Tuesday, as June's rising inflation dynamics offered a win—at least temporarily—for Federal Reserve Chair<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jerome-powell"> Jerome Powell's cautious stance.</a>



Headline inflation in June accelerated to 2.7% year over year, up from 2.4% in May and the highest reading since February. 



On a monthly basis, the Consumer Price Index rose 0.3%—the largest increase in five months. Both figures were in line with economists forecasts.



Core inflation, which strips out food and energy, rose 2.9% from a year ago, slightly below the 3% consensus. Monthly core CPI came in at 0.2%, a touch under the expected 0.3%, but still above May's 0.1%.



In recent months, Powell has consistently resisted political pressure to lower interest rates, maintaining a wait-and-see approach amid growing uncertainty from rising tariffs. 



That patience now appears warranted.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">June Inflation Data Validates Powell&#8217;s Trump Pushback </h2>



"Consumer Prices low. Bring down the Fed Rate, now!!!," Trump commented about the June&#8217;s inflation report. 



But the underlying details told a more nuanced picture.



"This does not strike me as a good CPI print," said Mike Konczal of the Economic Security Project, noting that goods and non-housing services rose, even if lower shelter prices masked the full impact. 



"It's just one month, but this is a clear win for the Fed having paused rate cuts."



"Today's report finally provided ample evidence that tariffs are being passed onto consumers," said Bank of America&#8217;s economist Stephen Juneau in a note. 



Core goods prices rose 0.2% month over month and 0.3% when excluding used cars, which declined again. Price hikes were broad-based across categories like appliances, apparel and recreational items.



Juneau expects this dynamic to carry into the Fed's preferred inflation metric, projecting a 0.3% monthly increase in core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) that could keep the year-over-year rate near 3% by the third quarter.



"If our PCE tracking estimate is correct, the case for the Fed to remain on hold this year (our call) would strengthen," he said.



"Inflation's not going quietly. June's 2.7% CPI reading tells us the road back to 2% won't be smooth and gives the Fed reason to pause before cutting rates," Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, added. 



Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, said CPI data shows inflation is still running above target, though within range. "Core CPI has ranged from 2.8% to 3.3% since last June, and total CPI from 2.3% to 3.0%. Both currently sit at around the middle of those ranges."



Given that the unemployment rate edged lower in June, Adams said the Fed has room to wait. "There's no smoking gun forcing a rate cut in July."



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For The Fed?</h2>



Markets now widely expect the Federal Reserve to hold rates steady at its July meeting. However, rate futures still reflect hopes for two cuts in the second half of 2025, and another two in 2026—bets that look increasingly fragile as inflation proves sticky.



Powell's term ends in May 2026 and speculation over his successor is intensifying.



According to Kalshi, the leading betting platform, former Fed governor Kevin Warsh leads with a 36% chance of taking the role, followed by economist Kevin Hassett at 30%. 



Fed Governor Christopher Waller trails at 19%, while Trump&#8217;s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent holds a 14% probability.

June Inflation Data Validates Powell's Trump Pushback

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) looks to keep a streak of beating analyst estimates alive when the company reports second-quarter financial results before<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> the market opens Wednesday.</a>



Here's a look at the current analyst estimates, what analysts are saying ahead of the report, and key items to watch.



Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Bank of America to report second-quarter revenue of $26.81 billion, up from $25.54 billion in last year's second quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0715"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>



The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in five straight quarters and in nine of the last 10 quarters overall.



Analysts expect Bank of America to report second-quarter earnings per share of 87 cents, up from 83 cents per share. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in more than 10 straight quarters.

What Analysts Are Saying: Several analysts have downgraded Bank of America stock ahead of the quarterly financial results.



HSBC recently downgraded the stock from Buy to Hold, while also raising the price target from $47 to $51.



Analyst Saul Martinez said there are "downside risks" that are not priced into large U.S. banks like Bank of America. The analyst also downgraded JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.



The analyst noted that factors such as macroeconomic uncertainty, the potential for economic growth to slow going forward, and future interest rate cuts in 2025 and 2026 could impact the stock's future valuation.



Martinez said regional banks may be more favorably valued and ripe for rallies.



Here are other recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BAC/analyst-ratings">analyst ratings for Bank of America </a>and their price targets:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Truist: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $51 to $53</li>



<li>RBC Capital: Maintained Outperform rating, raised rice target from $45 to $53</li>



<li>Baird: Downgraded from Outperform to Neutral, with price target of $52</li>



<li>Citigroup: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $50 to $54</li>
</ul>



Key Items to Watch: Bank of America's earnings report comes a day after peer JPMorgan &amp; Chase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46416888/jpmorgan-q2-earnings-dimon-warns-tariffs-risks">reported results. </a>JPMorgan beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share and set the table for high expectations being placed on the banking sector.



One person who will be paying close attention to Bank of America's earnings report is Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) CEO Warren Buffett. The banking company is the third-largest holding in the conglomerate's investment portfolio.



The Bank of America stake is valued at $29.2 billion. Berkshire has been cutting its stake in Bank of America in recent quarters. Buffett may be looking for specifics or overall health to determine if it makes sense to further trim the position.



Bank of America's earnings report and subsequent stock move will also be closely followed by owners of the SPDR Select Sector – Financials ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>), with the bank the fifth largest holding at 4.2% of assets.



Recent stress tests were passed by major banks, which could lead to increased dividend payouts and share buybacks, and also open banks to more capital-intensive uses. Analysts may ask the company how it plans to use its cash after the recent stress test.



BAC Price Action: Bank of America stock was down 1.9% to $46.15 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $33.06 to $49.30. Bank of America stock is up 4.6% year-to-date in 2025.
