Read MoreHide Full Article

The overall picture looks reassuring for the banks, as most of the banks that have reported second-quarter results so far beat earnings expectations. While the overall operating environment was challenging during the quarter, solid loan growth and favorable domestic economic factors helped banks perform better than what the market had expected.

However, earnings estimates for the S&P 500 stocks in the industry indicate a year-over-year decline. Per the latest Zacks Earnings Outlook report, overall earnings for the S&P 500 stocks in the Finance sector are expected to be down 1.4% year over year on a 0.4% decline in revenues.

Let’s take a look at what’s in store for the following banks (which form part of the broader Finance sector) that are scheduled to release their results on Aug 1.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CNB Financial Corp.’s (CCNE - Free Report) earnings has remained stable over the last 30 days at 38 cents, reflecting a year-over-year decline of 2.6%.

Further, with a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) and an Earnings ESP of 0.00%, the probability of an earnings beat by the company is quite low.

CNB Financial has posted an average positive earnings surprise of 3.5% over the trailing four quarters.
