Earnings Preview: Bank of America Corp (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), Citigroup (C)

Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase & Co. will kick off fourth-quarter bank earnings season on Tuesday with other big banks like Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc. following later in the week.

Of the 100 companies that have provided guidance for fourth-quarter earnings, 80 were negative, 10 were positive and 10 were in line with expectations, according to S&P Capital IQ.

“This produces a negative-to-positive ratio of 8.0, higher than the 15-year average, offering an inauspicious glimpse of the earnings reporting period to come,” S&P Capital IQ Chief Equity Strategist Sam Stovall said in a note published Monday.

The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) is seen growing earnings per share by 5.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the year-ago period, on par with the growth seen in the third quarter, according to S&P Capital IQ.

Eight sectors are expected to report year-over-year increases led by Financials, Industrials and Telecom Services, with Energy and Utilities recording the only declines.

From a revenue perspective, the fourth-quarter is expected to advance 2.6 percent, lower than the 4.2 percent gain seen in the third quarter. According to Stovall, seven of 10 sectors should report top-line growth, led by Consumer Discretionary, Health Care and Industrials. The revenue declines are projected to come from Information Technology, Telecom Services and Utilities sectors.

Capital Economics projects that the S&P 500 will end 2014 at around 1,850. “We do not expect the U.S. stock market to have another very strong year. That being said, we do not expect it to drop back sharply,” said John Higgins at Capital Economics in a note.
