Ep. 138 - Assessing the impact of tariffs on US banks

The emergence of tariffs led to a broad selloff of US banks amid fears of slower economic growth or even a possible recession. Banks’ first-quarter earnings season showed strong performance before the onset of tariffs, but ultimately might have left investors with more questions than answers. In the episode, senior reporter Harry Terris shared the key takeaways from large banks’ first-quarter results and highlighted commentary from JPMorgan, Bank of America, Capital One, First Citizens and others. The results show a noticeable divide between "hard" data, such as consumer spending strength, and "soft" data, like stock market volatility and economic forecasts. Despite the uncertainties, major banks have largely maintained their financial guidance. However, they have adjusted loan growth expectations downward due to a more cautious approach from clients, reflecting a "wait and see" attitude amid the current economic climate. Bank news lead Lauren Seay further discussed how tariffs are expected to negatively impact M&A activity, but also notes that the trade policies have not completely stymied bank deals, with large transactions like Columbia Bank’s plans to purchase Pacific Premier surfacing since tariffs were announced.
