Wall Street trading desks are minting cash — momentum play on JPMorgan, Goldman, and Citi
The biggest Wall Street banks just smashed profit records thanks to a massive boom in trading and dealmaking. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup all blew past expectations, proving the financial engine is running hot despite broader market worries.
Idea
JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup all just reported record-breaking trading revenues, showing that Wall Street is thriving on market volatility. When major banks post blowout earnings, their stocks typically enjoy a momentum pop as analysts upgrade their forecasts for the coming quarters. The broader market might be jittery, but the pure profit numbers from these trading desks provide a clear, fundamental catalyst to buy the banks.
