Wells argues three emerging negative themes are "overdone": the AI "scare trade," which it expects to reverse as earnings reinforce trust driven deposit moats; mid term election noise that may slow deregulation but not derail it; and worries that higher rates are hurting capital markets, loan growth and credit, though the firm notes potential extra provisions tied to data center credit issues and softer FICC.Wells continues to see "Goliath as winning" in deposit competition. Its top pick remains Citi, though it expects a so so Q3, followed by Bank of America with relatively weak capital markets trends. Among large regionals, the firm favors Fifth Thirdand PNC Financial. In mid caps, Wells prefers Banc of California, Old National Bancorpand Pinnacle Financial, while remaining cautious near term on BOK Financial, BankUnitedand Commerce Bancshares.SELECTION 'IS CRITICAL':TD Cowen resumed coverage of 16 large-cap banks, assigning Hold ratings to JPMorgan, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley, and Buy ratings to Wells Fargo, Citi and Goldman Sachs. The firm says the fundamental backdrop "seems about as good as it gets," but views stock selection as "critical" given its stronger conviction in sector fundamentals than in current valuations.
