One place in the world stands as a beacon for investors in bank stocks: Japan. Japanese banks have outperformed in a year when U.S. banks have come under pressure both from rapidly rising interest rates and the regional banking crisis last spring. "We've been bullish on Japanese banks for a long time," said Chen Zhao, chief global strategist at Alpine Macro. Part of what's driving the bull case for Japanese banks is the country's yield curve. While the U.S. and other developed economies contend with an inverted yield curve that's weighing on financial profit margins, Japan continues to have a positive yield curve.

Wall Street is optimistic ahead of Google 's quarterly earnings announcement Tuesday as the tech giant's advertising revenue growth shows signs of recovery. Analyst Ronald Josey estimates search revenue growth gained 11.3% year-over-year, versus the consensus projection of 9.6%. Bank of America sees search growth accelerating Bank of America also maintained its buy rating and $146 price target. We expect disruption with the format change, which will likely drive headwinds to medium-term search growth. Competitors are likely to bid aggressively for Google's search distribution partnerships, driving profitability lower.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google’s digital advertising sales growth accelerated during the summer, advancing a recent revival that helped its corporate parent Alphabet Inc. to deliver a quarterly profit that exceeded analysts' projections. The third-quarter results released Tuesday for the July-September period included a 9% increase in Google’s ad sales from the same time last year. Those gains were the main reason Alphabet’s total revenue rose 11% from a year ago to $76.69 billion. The upturn was even better than the 7% year-over-year increase in revenue that Alphabet produced in the April-June period when it reversed an unprecedented drop in Google’s ad revenue after nearly 20 years of growth. “While the traction it has among AI startups may bear fruit in the long run, it is not currently helping Google Cloud enough to satisfy investors.”The Cloud letdown appeared to take the luster off the third-quarter report for many investors.

"Interestingly, Elon Musk (CEO) dedicated a large amount of time to the broader macro environment and the effects of currently high interest rates," the Bank of America analysts wrote in a Thursday note.

Morgan Stanley hiked its rating on Netflix following the streaming giant's stellar earnings report, seeing the shares potentially rising 20% on strong revenue growth. The Wall Street firm's analyst Benjamin Swinburne upgraded Netflix to overweight from equal weight Thursday, while raising his 12-month price target to $475. Netflix's subscriber growth was driven by a password-sharing crackdown efforts and interest in its new ad-supported tier. The analyst's bull case for Netflix in the most optimistic scenario calls for a $550 price target, or 40% upside. For the bear case, the analyst sees Netflix shares falling as low as $300, or 25% downside.

NEW YORK (AP) — Goldman Sachs saw its third-quarter earnings fall 33%, with the investment bank seeing muted market conditions that allowed fewer deals and market making opportunities for the firm. The bank is selling off its GreenSky business, which the bank had to write off this quarter. The bank saw a 1% rise in investment banking revenues from last year, and its trading business of bonds, currencies and commodities was down 6% in the period. The bank's return on equity, a measurement on how well an investment bank is performing with the assets they hold, was 7.1% in the quarter. Historically in the past decade or so, banks like Goldman aim to get that measurement above 10%.

Just as they did during the March regional banking crisis, higher rates are expected to lead to a jump in losses on banks' bond portfolios and contribute to funding pressures as institutions are forced to pay higher rates for deposits. The issue constrains the bank's interest revenue and has made the lender the worst stock performer this year among the top six U.S. institutions. Expectations on the impact of higher rates on banks' balance sheets varied. Still, others including KBW and UBS analysts said that other factors could soften the capital hit from higher rates for most of the industry. There's also concern that higher interest rates will result in ballooning losses in commercial real estate and industrial loans.

Investors can continue to rely on the strength of a small group of tech stocks through at least the end of this year, according to Wolfe Research. The Magnificent 7 or Big 7 are the mega-cap tech stocks that drove the narrow market rally in the first half of 2023, such as Apple and Nvidia . The CNBC Magnificent 7 Index is up 90% year to date, compared with about 13% for the S & P 500 . The gap is even wider when looking at an equal-weighted version of the S & P 500, which reduces the effects of the biggest stocks. Over the past month, the S & P 500 has dropped more than 2%, but the Magnificent 7 are up 0.5%.
