The post Warsh Effect: High Rates Lift Bank Profits But Increase Credit Risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
America’s eight globally systemically important banks are posed to deliver very strong earnings. getty The upcoming second-quarter earnings season for globally systemically important U.S. banks looks like a victory lap. Driven by a spectacular resurgence in Wall Street dealmaking and an unexpected boost from a “higher-for-longer” interest rate environment, the banking sector is flashing green. According to the latest Zacks Earnings Trend Report, overall earnings for the broader finance sector are projected to surge by 12.5% year-over-year on 8.1% higher revenues. America’s GSIBs are expected to post staggering double-digit EPS growth. A massive catalyst for this boom was a blockbuster quarter for equities and trading desks, supercharged by the historic, nearly $86 billion SpaceX IPO, which alone pumped roughly $500 million in banking fees into Wall Street.

The post SpaceX (SPCXB) Draws $300 Morgan Stanley Overweight in Coverage Debut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
SPCXB News SpaceX (SPCXB) drew its first heavyweight Wall Street endorsement as Morgan Stanley opened coverage with an Overweight rating and a $300 base-case price target, alongside a $600 bull case. Analyst Adam Jonas reframed the newly listed company not as a rocket launcher but as an artificial-intelligence infrastructure platform, arguing its Starlink satellite network and low-latency connectivity will underpin autonomous vehicles, robots and drones. The base target implies roughly 90% upside from recent trading near $160. Jonas projected revenue could reach about $319 billion by 2030 and $3.3 trillion by 2040, driven primarily by Starlink and AI rather than traditional launch services. A second catalyst arrives with SpaceX’s entry into the Nasdaq-100 Index. JPMorgan estimates the inclusion could trigger roughly $4.3 billion in automatic purchases by passive investmen
