"We see the greatest sources of potential earnings upside being driven by higher loan growth and capital markets."

Last year, the company posted $21.9 billion in net interest income for the period. Despite expectations for seasonally lower trading, he also expects strong investment banking activity and net interest income to drive ongoing positive momentum.
