Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will the EPS exceed $0.61, and if so, by how much?

Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate the bank's ability to manage costs effectively in a challenging environment, leading to better-than-expected earnings.

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing a larger move than historical averages, indicating potential for a surprise.

Recent economic indicators suggest a resilient consumer base, which may support loan growth.

Key Risk
