Heading into today, shares of the biggest U.S. bank by assets had lost 3.07% over the past month, outpacing the Finance sector's loss of 4.06% and the S&P 500's loss of 4.58% in that time.

The company is expected to report EPS of $2.56, up 11.79% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $29.38 billion, up 5.86% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $10.03 per share and revenue of $115.29 billion. These totals would mark changes of +11.44% and +5.74%, respectively, from last year.

Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
