Wall Street banks signal trading slowdown after 72% second-quarter surge

  • Major Wall Street banks signaled slower trading growth after record second-quarter profits.
  • 72%: Combined equities revenue reached $19.3 billion year-over-year in the second quarter.
  • Bank results for the quarter ending September 30 begin next month.

Senior executives at major Wall Street banks signaled that the trading boom behind record second-quarter profits is losing momentum. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan expects third-quarter sales and trading revenue to be flat from a year earlier, while JPMorgan co-President Doug Petno forecasts a seasonal sequential decline but still sees teens percentage year-over-year growth. Citigroup projects mid-single-digit growth, and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon expects strong equities performance but slightly softer FICC (fixed income, currencies and commodities) revenue. The second quarter was fueled by AI-related stock demand, speculative Asian semiconductor trading and SpaceX's mega-IPO, sending combined equities revenue at four major banks up 72% year-over-year to $19.3 billion. Executives maintain that demand for prime brokerage (services supporting institutional trading) and structured financing remains strong over the longer term. Third-quarter results for the period ending September 30 begin next month, providing a test of the guidance.
