Bear Case · Room for Disagreement

This brief covers net revenue, net interest income, noninterest income, the provision for credit losses and diluted earnings per share, each on the reported basis. Banks also publish managed or adjusted figures; those are not used here. It does not cover capital ratios, credit quality, guidance or the earnings call, and it makes no forecast.

Method and source. Each figure is taken from a row of the company's earnings release or financial supplement that also prints the year ago quarter exactly as the company reported it in its own XBRL financial data; rows that do not match are not used. Where the release prints net revenue, net interest income and noninterest income, the two parts must add up to the total. The text is generated from those verified figures by a fixed template; no model wrote it.
