Releases from JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and its smaller, but still-huge competitors, Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC) and PNC Financial (PNC) are the harbinger of a few weeks of a steady stream of corporate results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me first get one of my biases out of the way.&nbsp; I have never been a fan of the fact that banks lead off the earnings parade.&nbsp; I wrote about this in July 2022 in an article entitled <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/stocks\/i-wish-i-could-rearrange-earnings-season\/\">I Wish I Could Rearrange Earnings Season<\/a>.&nbsp; My ongoing premise is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If I had the power to reorganize earnings season, I would not have the major banks kick off the festivities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I say this as someone who spent over 20 years as either the specialist or a market maker in the options of bank stocks large and small, domestic and foreign-based.&nbsp; It is human nature to try to extrapolate trends from limited data sets, and an early slew of bank earnings offer an unrepresentative small sample of data from which market commentators (present company included) try to divine a trend for the flood of reports that will follow.&nbsp; No other industry\u2019s bottom line is nearly as dependent upon idiosyncratic items like the shape of the yield curve and trading results.&nbsp; And as any trader will tell you, those are extraordinarily difficult to project.&nbsp; Sure, management might offer some insight into the bank\u2019s loan demand from customers, but those insights rightfully lack specificity \u2013 they can\u2019t discuss individual customers in a public forum.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But like it or not, the banks are coming, and I will be paying close attention just like everyone else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, UnitedHealth Group (UNH) also reports tomorrow.&nbsp; It has a larger weight in the S&amp;P 500 (SPX) than JPM \u2013 #10 vs. #13 \u2013 and is the highest weighted stock in the price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) where JPM is #18 \u2013 but JPM and friends will likely garner more attention.&nbsp; BlackRock (BLK), no financial slouch itself, reports tomorrow too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although traders seem to be quite a bit more sanguine as major indices rallied over the past week, we are indeed seeing some risk aversion in these names and their sector.&nbsp; Notice the change in the term structure of implied volatility in XLF, the Financial Select Sector SPDR, over the past week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xlf-term-structure-of-implied-volatility-today-yellow-vs-1-week-ago-red\"><strong><em>XLF, Term Structure of Implied Volatility, Today (yellow) vs. 1-Week Ago (red)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"631\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture3-1.png\" alt=\"XLF, Term Structure of Implied Volatility, Today (yellow) vs. 1-Week Ago (red)\" class=\"wp-image-197613 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture3-1.png 936w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture3-1-700x472.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture3-1-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture3-1-768x518.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 936px;

Because it lacks zero-dated options expiring on Thursdays, XLF didn\u2019t have the staggeringly high reading on for its first expiration, but otherwise the decline in the term structure is quite similar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spx-term-structure-of-implied-volatility-today-yellow-vs-1-week-ago-red\"><strong><em>SPX, Term Structure of Implied Volatility, Today (yellow) vs. 1-Week Ago (red)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"631\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture4-1.png\" alt=\"SPX, Term Structure of Implied Volatility, Today (yellow) vs. 1-Week Ago (red)\" class=\"wp-image-197614 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture4-1.png 936w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture4-1-700x472.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture4-1-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Picture4-1-768x518.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 936px;

This is partly driven by some risk aversion in the individual banks.&nbsp; Tomorrow\u2019s options in WFC are implying a roughly 4% move even though the stock\u2019s historical average move is 2.3%.&nbsp; Also, it barely moved after the last two reports, falling -0.34% and -0.05% respectively.&nbsp; The implied volatility in at-money C options is also around 4%, understandable because it moved about that much after its last two reports (-4.05% and +4.78%).&nbsp; Not surprisingly, JPM is a bit closer to 3.5%.&nbsp; They are perceived to have greater earnings power and fewer issues for management to contend with. &nbsp; Although JPM\u2019s long-term average post-earnings move is around 2%, it rose 7.5% in April and +0.6% in July.&nbsp; Traders seem to be splitting the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As difficult as it is for analysts to project these banks\u2019 trading profits, investment banking revenues, and potential adjustments to loan loss provisions, it is even more difficult for investors to predict the most consequential part of big bank earnings \u2013 the conference calls.&nbsp; Because of their reach across the domestic economy along with varying degrees of international scope, top management at these companies have unique insights into a broad range of customers and the economy at large. Even those who are not particularly exposed to bank stocks will be attempting to glean insights about the banks\u2019 customers and their insights into the broader economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I await the inevitable questions about how artificial intelligence may affect the bank\u2019s business.&nbsp; At least when UNH gets the inevitable questions about how weight-loss drugs will affect its bottom line, it will be more tangible than when a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-10-06\/ozempic-threat-is-causing-a-selloff-in-candy-and-beer-stocks\">consumer companies get theoretical questions<\/a> about how they might affect their businesses.&nbsp;&nbsp; It\u2019s impossible to escape the market\u2019s favorite futuristic themes, though it likely behooves us more to try to glean as much information as we can about the more immediate path of the corporate sector and the US economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though we have seen third-quarter earnings begin to trickle out, the unofficial start to earnings season starts tomorrow morning when a quartet of large banks report.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":188571,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[14700,6,8,9,22,26,3],"tags":[246,267,44],"contributors-categories":[13576],"class_list":{"0":"post-197611","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ibkr-market-insights","8":"category-north-america","9":"category-region","10":"category-securities","11":"category-stocks","12":"category-text-articles","13":"category-traders-insight","14":"tag-banks","15":"tag-earnings","16":"tag-stocks","17":"contributors-categories-interactive-brokers"},"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v27.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bring on the Banks!
