"David Solomon can't pick a favorite division. But he can tell you it definitely isn't Marcus." - Jeff
Hey there carnivores,
Markets were down on Wednesday as banks dropped their earnings.
Today weâre talking about exactly what those banks did.
Keep raging,
Jeff & Jason

Make you my 1MDB*tch
DJ D-Sol went full Derrick Henry on analysts, absolutely truck sticking their anemic âestimates.â
Mr. Sol and Goldman [dropped earnings]( on Wednesday morning, and letâs just say Dorsia was lit last night. Earnings per share of $9.68 made Wall Streetâs estimates of $5.57 their b*tch. The boys and girls over at 200 West grew revenue to $10.78B vs. an expected $9.46B.
These are Bernie Madoff numbers, you guys.
"So howâd they do it?" - you⦠and Wells Fargo, probably
Well, as far as we can tell they didnât take advantage of a developing country (sorry, Malaysia). But the company did take a page straight out of Citi and JPMorganâs âIdiots Guide To Running a Bulge Bracket.â Read: it was trading revenue.
The cumulative trading division went beast mode, hauling in $4.55B. Thatâs good for a 29% increase from 2019. You know, the year that traders could actually work in the office.
Bond trading accounted for $2.5B, roughly $1B more than expected.
Any other division lead score an invitation to D-Sol's residency in Ibiza next summer?
Why yes. Asset management leadership will be getting the models and bottles treatment. The division [produced]( $2.7B in revenue, a 71% jump from last year and almost three commas more than estimated.
Today was a good day
Yesterday, despite profit beats, shares of Citi and JPM stumbled on fears that âmaybe this virus thing is a big deal after all.â Apparently Goldman is immune to those fears (and the virus) because shares rose 2.2% in premarket trading and notched a two-tenths of a percent gain on the day.
Goldman has weathered the storm much better than its peers. It fell nearly 8% during the 'rona times compared to a 31% fall off for the KBW Bank Index. Of course, that Index includes Wells Fargo.When reached for comment, KBW had this to say: âwe donât like it any more than you do.â
The bottom line...
Speaking of Wells, the firm that taught Danske Bank everything it knows also reported earnings. The good news? It was [profitable]( this quarter⦠something it couldnât say during Q2. The bad news? It missed profit estimates (42 vs. 45 cents per share), citing âlow interest ratesâ... which are going to last until the next time Halleyâs Comet comes around if Jay Powell has anything to say about it.
Shares got killed⦠obviously.
Unfortunately for Bank of America it had a lot more in common with Wells than Goldman when it reported. The bank [barely beat earnings]( estimates and missed on revenue.
It shouldnât come as a shock that low interest rates have eviscerated Bank of Americaâs hopes and dreams. Its stock also fell.

âï¸Guess whoâs back? Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes (if the ashes were a pile of SoftBank investors burnt money), Adam Neumann has emerged with a new real estate startup. The former WeWork founder [invested $30M]( in Alfred Club Inc (yes, like Batmanâs butler) as part of a $42M funding round that Neumannâs family investment office is leading.
Alfred looks to provide concierge staff to apartment buildings who can perform tasks such as dog walking, rent processing, and maintenance requests. The company currently operates in 100k apartments and has raised at least $100M in funding. Neumann is used to a few more commas, but it's a good start.
If the Alfred idea sounds familiar, itâs because WeWork started a similar venture called WeLive... before Masa Son realized "WeF*ckedUp."
âï¸Youâve arrived. The latest electric vehicle maker to get a big round of funding has... arrived. UK based Arrival [raised $118M]( from funds managed by BlackRock. The deal values Arrival at roughly $3.5B. *Double checks to make sure that said a unicorn came out of the UK*
BlackRock will join Hyundai and Kia as investors after the two already pumped 100M euro into Arrival back in January. And thereâs a fourth investor...the USPS. Thatâs right, the US Postal Service isnât just out there hawking snail mail. Its stake was not disclosed .
Arrivalâs future appears to be a little more certain than some other electric vehicles *cough* Nikola *cough*. The company has orders to deliver 10k vans to UPS in the US and Europe through 2024.
âï¸Feel the burn. Believe it or not, United Airlines [posted a pretty large third quarter loss]( on Wednesday. The companyâs earnings per share clocked in at a whopping $8.16 per share, compared to the estimated loss of $7.53 per share. That counts as an earnings beat, right?
Whatâs even more impressive: United Airlines outdid itself by losing $1.8B in Q3. Last year over the same quarter, the company earned $1B profit. Revenue for Q3 dropped 78% from the $11.38B it earned last year. Crash, meet burn.
âï¸Black Friday^3. Walmart [is flipping the Black Friday game on its head](. And not because itâs giving its greeters cattle prods to take down some of the more enthusiastic deal seekers. As the pandemic rages on, Walmart will be putting precautions in place to protect customers and employees. For starters, stores will open at 5AM. OK, so normal Black Friday? Not quite. Customers will need to line up single file, occupancy will be limited, and shopping carts will be sanitized.
The real Black Friday innovation comes as Walmart will be breaking up its Black Friday into three separate events to encourage smaller crowds. Each event will start online, followed by in store events a few days later. Those events will be staggered throughout the month of November. If you think this means some of these psychos wonât get up at 5AM for $10 off a TV three times next month, youâre out of your g*ddamn gourd.
