BAC or MS: Which Financial Powerhouse Deserves Your Investment Now?

Being financial powerhouses with impressive franchises, both Bank of America BAC and Morgan Stanley MS benefited from stronger capital markets activity, robust trading volumes and improving investment banking (IB) conditions in the first half of 2026. However, their business models differ. BAC has a more diversified franchise, which offers greater exposure to traditional banking, deposits and lending in comparison to MS.

S&P 500 EPS growth above 20% is rare. Why 2027 may be at risk

Investing.com -- S&P 500 companies are on course for 32% year-on-year EPS growth in the second quarter of 2026, following a 30% jump in Q1. This back-to-back earnings run rivals the strongest on record. Bank of America strategists led by Savita Subramanian, noted that such streaks of 30%-plus EPS growth have occurred only 10 times since 1936, with the most recent examples tied to deep earnings recessions — the Covid collapse and the global financial crisis, not the organic AI-driven expansion currently underway. That historical anomaly is now shaping how Wall Street thinks about the equity out
