As earnings season gets into full swing this week, analysts at Barclays provided a Q1 earnings preview for seven big American banks. Despite an overall positive industry view, analysts see a tough Q1 for financials. Here’s what they had to say about these banks:

KeyCorp KEY 1.35%

Analysts’ EPS expectation of $0.25 is slightly below the $0.26 consensus. Lower fee income and income from investment banking, debt placement and corporate-owned life insurance will weigh on earnings. Barclays has an Underweight rating on KeyCorp and a $15 target for the stock.

JPMorgan Chase & Co JPM 0.6%

Barclays expects Q1 EPS of $1.43, slightly above consensus. Cost cutting and higher trading revenues, mortgage fees and loan balances in Q1 should have helped the bottom line. Barclays has an Overweight rating on JP Morgan and a $73 target for the stock.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc GS 0.03%

Barclays is calling for an above-consensus EPS of $4.30 on the strength of FICC results that likely benefited from high forex volatility. Barclays has an Equal Weight rating on Goldman and a $220 target for the stock.

Comerica Inc CMA 0.83%

Barclays is projecting a slight miss on EPS of $0.71 versus consensus of $0.73. Analysts see lower rates and declining purchase weighing on net interest margin. Barclays has an Underweight rating on Comerica and a $50 target for the stock.

Citigroup Inc C 0.44%

Barclays is calling for EPS of $1.42, slightly above consensus. They see seasonally strong fee income and lower repositioning costs during the quarter. Barclays has an Overweight rating on Citigroup and a $65 target for the stock.

Bank of America Corp BAC 0.51%

Analysts’ EPS expectation of $0.28 is slightly below the $0.29 consensus. Analysts believe that trading results will likely be down year-over-year. Barclays has an Equal Weight rating on Bank of America and a $20 target for the stock.

Morgan Stanley MS 0.17%

Barclays expects Q1 EPS of $0.77. They believe that the underwriting and trading segments likely had a slow Q1. Barclays has an Equal Weight rating on Bank of America and a $43 target for the stock.

Want to learn more about the stock market? Or maybe you just want to be able to look sophisticated in front of your coworkers when they ask you what you are reading on your Kindle, and you’d prefer to tell them “Oh, I’m just reading a book about stock market analysis,” rather than the usual “Oh, I’m just looking at pics of my ex-girlfriend on Facebook.” For these reasons and more, check out my book, Beating Wall Street with Common Sense. I don’t have a degree in finance; I have a degree in neuroscience. You don’t have to predict what stocks will do if you can predict what traders will do and be one step ahead of them. I made a 400% return in the stock market over five years using only basic principles of psychology and common sense. Beating Wall Street with Common Sense is now available on Amazon, and tradingcommonsense.com is always available on your local internet!
