JPMorgan Leads a Packed Earnings Week for Banks
▌Key Takeaway
Financials dominate next week’s earnings calendar, led by JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley, all of which have recently beaten EPS estimates. The setup is constructive for investors because most of the group carries Buy ratings, but Goldman’s Hold consensus and the premium valuations in healthcare and semis suggest the market will be selective on guidance and execution.

Next week's earnings calendar puts financials at the front of the line, with JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley reporting from October 13 through October 14, 2026. Healthcare adds Johnson & Johnson and UnitedHealth, while ASML and TSMC carry the semiconductor story into October 14 and October 15.

Key Takeaways

  • JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley each posted EPS above their latest listed estimates.
  • Johnson & Johnson and UnitedHealth report October 13, with both carrying Buy analyst consensus and recent EPS results above estimates.

ASML and TSMC remain the semiconductor standouts, with both stocks above their 50-day and 200-day price averages.
  • Nine of the ten focus stocks have Buy consensus. Goldman Sachs is the exception, with a Hold consensus despite a strong latest EPS result.

    • Johnson & Johnson (JNJ): Healthcare Stability Meets a High Bar

    Johnson & Johnson reports on October 13, 2026. Its latest quote was $261.44, up 1.93%, with a 50-day average of $265.33 and a 200-day average of $242.92. The stock's yearly range runs from $184.66 to $281.07. Johnson & Johnson spans Innovative Medicine and MedTech, giving this healthcare name two operating pillars. Its latest EPS result was $2.90 versus a $2.84 estimate on July 15. Analyst consensus is Buy, based on 21 buy ratings, 16 holds, and 3 sells. The market signal is constructive, but the stock's $24.37 P/E places more weight on continued execution.

    JPMorgan (JPM): The Bank Earnings Benchmark

    JPMorgan reports on October 13, 2026. The stock closed at $332.99, up 0.47%, against a 50-day average of $350.14 and a 200-day average of $322.14. JPMorgan's latest EPS result was $7.59 versus a $5.59 estimate on July 14. That result gives the bank the largest listed gap between actual and estimated EPS among the major financial names in this preview. Analyst consensus is Buy, with 31 buy ratings, 27 holds, and 2 sells. Its $14.33 P/E keeps the valuation below Johnson & Johnson's, while the Consumer & Community Banking, Commercial & Investment Bank, and Asset & Wealth Management segments create a broad earnings base.

    Goldman Sachs (GS): Strong EPS, More Divided Analyst Views

    Goldman Sachs reports on October 13, 2026. Its latest price was $895.32, up 1.44%, with a 50-day average of $989.93 and a 200-day average of $959.89. The stock remains within a $740.01 to $1,153.99 yearly range. Goldman posted EPS of $20.98 against a $14.47 estimate on July 14. Still, analyst consensus is Hold, with 22 buys, 30 holds, and 3 sells. That split matters because the stock combines a $13.82 P/E with a strong recent EPS result. Investment banking, global markets, asset management, and wealth management give the report several earnings engines.

    Wells Fargo (WFC): A Low-Multiple Bank Under Review

    Wells Fargo reports on October 13, 2026. The stock traded at $83.55, up 1.85%, compared with a 50-day average of $85.75 and a 200-day average of $84.47. Its latest EPS result reached $1.96 versus a $1.73 estimate on July 14. Analyst consensus is Buy, with 28 buy ratings, 28 holds, and 4 sells. The $12.16 P/E is the lowest among JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley in this group. Wells Fargo's four segments cover consumer banking, commercial banking, corporate and investment banking, and wealth management.

    Citigroup (C): International Breadth at a Moderate Valuation

    Citigroup reports on October 13, 2026. Its latest quote was $129.63, up 1.21%, with a 50-day average of $133.68 and a 200-day average of $126.18. Citigroup posted EPS of $3.15 against a $2.74 estimate on July 14. Analyst consensus is Buy, supported by 16 buys, 10 holds, and 1 sell. The bank carries a $14.00 P/E. Its Services, Markets, Banking, Wealth, and U.S. Personal Banking segments provide a wide operating footprint. That breadth gives this earnings preview a useful contrast with the more concentrated capital-markets stories elsewhere in the financial sector.

    UnitedHealth Group (UNH): Healthcare Plans With a Recent EPS Beat

    UnitedHealth reports on October 13, 2026. The latest price was $379.30, up 2.25%, against a 50-day average of $389.18 and a 200-day average of $357.53. The stock's yearly range is $255.97 to $461.62. UnitedHealth posted EPS of $6.38 versus a $4.91 estimate on July 16. Analyst consensus is Buy, with 43 buy ratings, 7 holds, and 2 sells. The company combines UnitedHealthcare with Optum Health, Optum Insight, and Optum Rx. Its $20.35 P/E and strong analyst split make this one of the more closely followed healthcare names in the earnings calendar.

    ASML (ASML): Semiconductor Equipment at a Premium Multiple

    ASML reports on October 14, 2026. The stock stood at $1,780.34, up 0.60%, with a 50-day average of $1,738.61 and a 200-day average of $1,561.82. Its yearly range reaches from $946.11 to $1,999.96. ASML posted EPS of $8.68 versus a $7.98 estimate on July 15. Analyst consensus is Buy, with 25 buys, 16 holds, and 3 sells. The $55.60 P/E is the highest among the focus stocks. ASML's lithography, metrology, and inspection systems make it a critical supplier to chipmakers, so its report carries direct weight for the semiconductor equipment industry.

    Bank of America (BAC): A Large Bank Trading Below Its Moving Averages

    Bank of America reports on October 14, 2026. The stock was $54.32, up 1.32%, compared with a 50-day average of $60.07 and a 200-day average of $55.28. Its latest EPS result was $1.21 versus a $1.13 estimate on July 14. Analyst consensus is Buy, with 35 buy ratings, 18 holds, and 1 sell. The bank's $12.46 P/E is the lowest of the major bank names except Wells Fargo. Consumer banking, wealth management, global banking, and global markets give BAC exposure across deposits, lending, investment services, and capital markets.

    Morgan Stanley (MS): Capital Markets With a Clear EPS Beat

    Morgan Stanley reports on October 14, 2026. Its latest price was $190.02, up 1.38%, against a 50-day average of $207.33 and a 200-day average of $194.21. The firm posted EPS of $3.46 versus a $2.89 estimate on July 15. Analyst consensus is Buy, with 29 buys, 22 holds, and 1 sell. Morgan Stanley carries a $15.36 P/E. Its Institutional Securities, Wealth Management, and Investment Management divisions tie the stock to trading activity, advisory work, client assets, and investment products. The latest EPS result gives the next report a firm comparison point.

    TSMC (TSM): The Semiconductor Growth Test

    TSMC reports on October 15, 2026. The stock traded at $453.31, down 1.02%, with a 50-day average of $432.47 and a 200-day average of $391.77. Its yearly range is $266.82 to $487.47. TSMC posted EPS of $4.22 against a $3.81 estimate on July 16. Analyst consensus is Buy, with 18 buys and 7 holds. The company manufactures advanced chips for high-performance computing, smartphones, automotive systems, and IoT products. Its $32.82 P/E is well below ASML's, but the latest price action still places TSMC near the upper end of its yearly range.

    Wrap-Up

    This earnings week is built around a financial-sector test, with healthcare stability and semiconductor growth providing important counterweights. Recent EPS beats support the bullish analyst view across most focus stocks, but price levels and valuation multiples create very different standards for each report.

    ▌Common Questions

    Frequently asked questions

    +Which banks are reporting earnings next week?
    JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley are the main bank names reporting from October 13 through October 14, 2026. This makes financials the center of attention for the week.
    +What is the key takeaway from the bank earnings preview?
    The key takeaway is that most of the major banks have recently posted EPS above estimates and carry Buy analyst consensus. That sets a favorable backdrop, but investors will still focus on guidance, net interest income trends, and capital markets activity.
    +Which bank has the strongest recent EPS beat in this preview?
    JPMorgan shows the largest listed EPS beat among the major financial names in this preview, with $7.59 in actual EPS versus a $5.59 estimate. That makes it the benchmark report for the group.
    +Why is Goldman Sachs different from the other major banks in this earnings week?
