The firm expects consensus estimates for global investment banks to move higher ahead of second-quarter results, supported by strong trading performance. JPMorgan believes Q2 could become the second-best revenue quarter on record, trailing only the record-setting first quarter. In a research note, the analyst said trading has evolved into a “best execution pre/post trade platform business with the key driver being volatility driving activity levels.” The firm expects Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to outperform when they report earnings.
