Net income rose to $5.8 billion, or $3.15 per share, topping all 20 analyst estimates as equities trading revenue climbed 45%

Bank stocks were rising Tuesday morning after the nation’s largest banks reported strong second-quarter earnings due to powerhouse results from investment banking units which have reaped the benefits of a surge in dealmaking activity. “We thought the 2Q earnings were going to be very good, but they turned out to be extraordinary,” Macrae Sykes, portfolio manager of the GABF ETF at Gabelli Funds, said in a statement. The KBW Bank Index was up 1.75%, while the benchmark S&P 500 index was up 0.28%.

Citigroup (C) delivered earnings and revenue surprises of +15.81% and +4.59%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 2026. Do the numbers hold clues to what lies ahead for the stock?

Investing.com -- Citigroup reported second-quarter earnings and revenue ahead of Wall Street expectations on Tuesday, as robust trading activity and stronger investment banking fees drove a 45% jump in profit.

Citigroup’s profit in the second quarter rose 45% from a year ago to $5.8 billion, the bank said Tuesday. That amounted to $3.15 a share, topping the $2.74 that analysts expected. Revenue of $24.8 billion topped the $23.

JPMorgan stock wavered between narrow gains and losses in premarket trade after its results showed second-quarter profit shot up 41%, helped by a one-off gain from its investment in Visa. Wells Fargo shares ticked higher before the bell after its results showed profit increased 17% from a year earlier.

Q2 bank earnings kick off Tuesday with the biggest names on Wall Street reporting at once, and one senior analyst thinks the results could shock even the optimists. But his most interesting call has nothing to do with JPMorgan or Goldman.

The coming batch of report cards from America’s largest banks is set to reflect that Wall Street’s core businesses are doing exceptionally well, driven by a Main Street that’s doing well enough. Strong equities-trading and investment-banking activity this spring should propel earnings at Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs, which each report within hours of each other on Tuesday. Morgan Stanley, U.S. Bancorp, and other lenders are scheduled to report in the days after.

The four largest U.S. banks and Goldman Sachs are poised to report higher profits from a year ago thanks to buoyant equity markets, a solid economy, and merger and IPO activity. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman are due to release their second-quarter earnings results on Tuesday in an unusually packed morning for bank investors.
