As Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) prepares to release earnings results for its third quarter before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gs/earnings">opening bell on Tuesday, Oct. 15</a>, observers should take note of the firm&#8217;s annual dividend yield of 2.32%. 
That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend amount of $3.00 per share ($12.00 a year). To earn $500 monthly from Goldman Sachs, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Goldman Sachs' $12.00 dividend: $6,000 / $12.00 = 500 shares
Investors would need to own 500 Goldman Sachs shares ($258,150 worth) to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $12.00 = 100 shares, or $51,630 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
Earnings: Goldman Sachs analysts expect the New York-based investment bank to report quarterly earnings at $7.03 per share, up from $5.47 per share in the year-ago period. Goldman Sachs projects to report revenue of $11.87 billion for the recent quarter, compared to $11.82 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Price Action: Shares of Goldman gained by 2.5% to close at $516.30 on Friday.
On Oct. 9, JMP Securities analyst Devin Ryan maintained Goldman Sachs with a Market Outperform and raised the price target from $525 to $550.

How To Earn $500 A Month From Goldman Sachs Stock Ahead Of Q3 Earnings

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), issued a stark warning about challenges that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41122659/jamie-dimon-slams-early-career-private-equity-moves-saying-it-puts-us-in-a-bad-position">could affect the U.S. economy</a>.
What Happened: In the bank&#8217;s third-quarter earnings release, Dimon highlighted several critical global risks that could disrupt both economic and geopolitical stability.
Dimon, who heads the nation&#8217;s largest bank, noted concerns around slowing inflation, fiscal deficits, and global trade disruptions, and warned that geopolitical instability could have profound long-term consequences, Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/jamie-dimon-warns-critical-issues-could-affect-us-economy">reports</a>. He noted the importance of preparing for unpredictable outcomes.
Dimon also pointed to the need for a robust approach to handling infrastructure needs and warned that remilitarization efforts globally could increase instability.
&#8220;We have been closely monitoring the geopolitical situation for some time, and recent events show that conditions are treacherous and getting worse,&#8221; Dimon said in the news release.

&#8220;There is significant human suffering, and the outcome of these situations could have far-reaching effects on both short-term economic outcomes and more importantly on the course of history,&#8221; he added. 
While acknowledging the resilience of the U.S. economy, Dimon – who has been floated as a possible future Treasury secretary or Federal Reserve chair – said that the U.S. must get its fiscal house in order.
&#8220;Additionally, while&nbsp;inflation is slowing&nbsp;and the U.S. economy remains resilient, several critical issues remain, including large fiscal deficits, infrastructure needs, restructuring of trade and remilitarization of the world,&#8217; Dimon said. 
&#8220;While we hope for the best, these events and the prevailing uncertainty demonstrate why we must be prepared for any environment,&#8221; he added.

Jamie Dimon Warns Of Global Risks To Economy: 'Treacherous And Getting Worse'

JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wfc#NYSE">WFC</a>) ended the week by reporting their quarterly results, kicking off the third quarter earnings season.&nbsp;Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bac#NYSE">BAC</a>) is due to report its latest financial results on Tuesday, with The Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gs#NYSE">GS</a>), Citigroup Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/c#NYSE">C</a>) and Morgan Stanley(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ms#NYSE">MS</a>)&nbsp;due to also report next week.
<h3>JP Morgan Reported A&nbsp;Better-Than-Expected Interest Income&nbsp;</h3>
During the quarter ended in September, JP Morgan reported&nbsp;revenues rose 6% YoY to $43.3 billion, surpassing LSEG&rsquo;s consensus estimate of&nbsp;$41.63 billion. Results were fueled by investment banking fees that grew 31% as they brought in $2.27 billion.
On the other hand, JP Morgan reported that&nbsp;net income fell 2%&nbsp;to $12.9 billion, but earnings per share rose to $4.37, up from $4.33 as there were fewer outstanding shares in the latest quarter, surpassing FactSet&rsquo;s consensus estimate of $3.99 a share.
However,&nbsp;net interest income grew 3% to $23.5 billion, surpassing both StreetAccount&rsquo;s estimate of $22.73 billion and&nbsp;FactSet&rsquo;s estimate of $22.9 billion. Consequently, JP Morgan raised its full year guidance for net interest income up from $91 billion to about&nbsp;$92.5 billion.&nbsp;
JP Morgan has et aside more money to cover credit losses, more precisely $3.1 billion, compared ot last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter when it had only set aside $1.4 billion.
During the earnings call, CFO&nbsp;Jeremy Barnum&nbsp;described the consumer is doing fine&nbsp;and is on a solid footing.&nbsp;But CEO Jamie Dimon spoke of continuously monitoring geopolitical tensions that he described as &ldquo;treacherous and getting worse.&rdquo;&nbsp;In a statement where he referred to the unspeakable human suffering, with the outcome of conflicts possibly having far-reaching effects on both short-term economic outcomes and more importantly, the course of history.&nbsp;Dimon is one of the rare CEOs who goes beyond the scope of banking to view the bigger picture of the world, often giving solicited or unsolicited advice to global leaders.
All in all, the biggest American bank continues to thrive&nbsp;in a rising rate environment.
Wells Fargo continues to evolve and generate more income through fees.&nbsp;
Wells Fargo reported third-quarter revenue dropped to $20.37&nbsp;billion, reporting a profit of $1.42 per share as net income fell to&nbsp;$5.11 billion. Net interest income also fell 11% to&nbsp;$11.69 billion, but&nbsp;the decline was offset by higher fee income.
However, the bigger picture here is that the once the country&rsquo;s #1 home mortgage lender has evolved in recent years.
Earlier this year, the Biden administration lifted a consent order that was in place since 2016&nbsp;&nbsp;following a series of scandals that included fake customer accounts.&nbsp;Last month, Wells Fargo even agreed to work with U.S. bank regulators to improve its financial crimes risk management controls that detect suspicious activity and money laundering.&nbsp;The bottom line is that despite the YoY decline of both profit and revenue, they fell less than analysts had expected.&nbsp;
By reporting better than feared results, both Wells Fargo and JP Morgan have shown that the U.S. consumers proved to be more resilient than expected, suggesting that a soft landing is more likely than a recession.&nbsp;

Shares of banking and financial services stocks are trading higher following better-than-expected financial results from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Stocks Drive Wall Street Rally</h3>
The financial sector was the primary driver of Friday's market gains. 
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) rallied 1.9%, marking its strongest session since November 2023 and hitting a fresh record high. 
The rally came as a wave of U.S. banks reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings, reinforcing confidence in the sector&#8217;s resilience.
JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) delivered a robust performance, with Q3 earnings per share (EPS) of $4.37, exceeding the $4.00 consensus. 
Shares surged over 4% by mid-morning trading in New York. Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden highlighted a &#8220;robust beat across every line,&#8221; for the largest U.S. bank.
Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) saw its shares soar 6.2% after posting an EPS of $1.42, beating expectations despite cautious guidance on net interest income for the year.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>) also delivered stronger-than-expected results, with BK shares rising 1.8%. 
BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) gained 3.4% after upbeat earnings and revenue, as performance fees sharply surprised estimates. BlackRock shares hit a new record high. 
Other major banks participated in the rally, with Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) climbing between 2% and 4.8%. Morgan Stanley also set new all-time highs. 
The strength in large-cap banks spilled over to regional players, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) rallying 3.5%. This helped lift the Russell 2000 index, which gained 1.3% and outperformed large-cap counterparts. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Economic Data Overshadowed by Strong Earnings</h3>
Friday's economic data included a higher-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) and a weaker-than-expected Michigan Consumer Sentiment report for October. 
The headline PPI came in at 1.8% year-over-year in September, down from an upwardly revised 1.9% in August, but above expectations of 1.6%. Core producer prices – which exclude energy and food – sharply increased from 2.6% to 2.8% year-on-year, surpassing expectations of 2.7%. 
According to preliminary estimates, the University of Michigan&#8217;s U.S. consumer sentiment index fell to 68.9 in October 2024, down from a five-month high of 70.1 in September and missing forecasts of 70.8.
Year-ahead inflation expectations rose slightly from 2.7% to 2.9%, while the five-year outlook dipped from 3.1% to 3%.
&#8220;Consumers continue to express frustration over high prices. Still, long run business conditions lifted to its highest reading in six months, while current and expected personal finances both softened slightly&#8221;, Surveys of Consumers Director Joanne Hsu said. 
Despite the mixed economic signals, investors focused on the strong bank earnings and remained optimistic about the upcoming corporate earnings season.

In October 2023,&nbsp;Sanofi announced its plans to spin off its consumer healthcare business as the French pharmaceutical company outlined its strategic update to increase investment in its drug-development&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/10/35458838/sanofi-goes-the-rival-way-plans-separation-of-consumer-healthcare-unit" rel="noreferrer noopener">pipeline and cut costs</a>.
Sanofi said the spinoff would allow it to increase its focus on innovative medicines and vaccines.
As per a Bloomberg report, two private equity firms,&nbsp;Clayton Dubilier &amp; Rice and&nbsp;PAI Partners, made separate bids for Sanofi&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41021471/private-equity-firms-circle-sanofis-consumer-health-business-amid-potential-spinoff" rel="noreferrer noopener">consumer health division</a>.
If these <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sanofi.com/en/media-room/press-releases/2024/2024-10-11-06-30-00-2961805" rel="noreferrer noopener">discussions</a> lead to a positive outcome, any agreement would be conditional on completing the necessary social processes.
Further updates on the potential separation of Opella will be provided in due course when a decision is made.
Headquartered in France, Opella employs over 11,000 people, operates in 100 countries, and manages 13 manufacturing sites and four research and innovation centers.
With a portfolio of 100 leading brands, including Allegra, Doliprane, Novanight, Icy Hot, and Dulcolax, Opella is the world&#8217;s third-largest company in the over-the-counter and vitamins, minerals, and supplements market, serving over 500 million consumers worldwide.
Opella&#8217;s journey to independence aligns with Sanofi&#8217;s strategy to focus on innovative medicines and vaccines.
Opella already operates today as a standalone business unit within Sanofi, with dedicated R&amp;D, production, and digital resources.

Last year, Sanofi initiated talks with Rothschild &amp; Co. to explore the possibility of spinning off its consumer health division, which could potentially value the business at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/11/35823034/major-buyout-firms-eye-sanofis-consumer-health-division-spinoff-valued-over-20b" rel="noreferrer noopener">over $20 billion</a>.&nbsp;

Separating the consumer health unit would align Sanofi with industry peers.&nbsp;GSK Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) and&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) have also divested their consumer divisions&nbsp;Haleon Plc&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Banking Sector Performance So Far In 2024</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="447" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-1024x447.png" alt="" class="wp-image-587909" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-1024x447.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-300x131.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-768x336.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66-1536x671.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/09104754/image-66.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Chart:<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent100924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> Benzinga Pro</a></figcaption></figure>
Thus far, in 2024, the banking sector has shown strong performance. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>), which tracks major financial stocks, has risen 21% year-to-date, matching the performance of the broader market as represented by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).
However, regional banks have lagged behind their larger counterparts. The SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) is up just 6% year-to-date, though it has outperformed over the past three months. This recent rebound is largely due to falling inflation and increasing expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
With earnings season approaching, the question on many investors&#8217; minds is whether large banks will maintain their positive performance gap over regional players or if recent market developments will impact their results and outlooks. 
Here&#8217;s what Wall Street analysts are saying ahead of the bank earnings season.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Expectations And Top Picks</h3>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">RBC Capital Markets – Gerard Cassidy, co-head of global financials research</h4>
&#8220;We believe the set-up looks very good for banks over the next 12-18 months. We expect the Federal Reserve to cut short-term interest rates by 200-250 basis points over this period, and the finalization of the Basel III &#8216;endgame&#8217; proposal will allow banks to return excess capital through buybacks and dividends. We continue to recommend an overweight position in bank stocks.&#8221;
<ul>
<li>Top Picks (RBC holds earnings per share estimates for both above Street consensus for the third quarter)
<ul>
<li>Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFC#NYSE">TFC</a>)</li>
<li>KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. – Anthony Elian, CFA</h4>
&#8220;As the Federal Reserve reduces rates, several industry headwinds could turn into tailwinds.&#8221; This includes:
<ol>
<li>Lower deposit costs, improving net interest margins (NIMs)</li>
<li>An uptick in commercial loan demand</li>
<li>Easing credit quality concerns, particularly for banks with commercial real estate (CRE) exposure</li>
<li>A resumption of buyback programs as reserves are released</li>
<li>Increased exit market and venture capital activity.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Top Picks:
<ul>
<li>First Citizens Bancshares Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NYSE">FCNCA</a>)</li>
<li>Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>)</li>
<li>Pinnacle Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNFP#NASDAQ">PNFP</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Wedbush Securities – David J. Chiaverini, CFA</h4>
&#8220;We expect mixed trends for banks in Q3, with modest loan and deposit growth, stabilizing deposit mix shifts, and NIMs benefiting from fixed asset repricing. Some banks will be more positively positioned than others in this environment.&#8221;
<ul>
<li>Top Picks:
<ul>
<li>M&amp;T Bank Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>)</li>
<li>Wintrust Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTFC#NASDAQ">WTFC</a>)</li>
<li>Columbia Banking Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLB#NASDAQ">COLB</a>) Wedbush believes Columbia Banking Systems will benefit from a lower rate environment as it is liability-sensitive, unlike most banks that are asset-sensitive.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bank of America – Ebrahim H. Poonawala</h4>
&#8220;We favor regional banks over large money centers heading into Q3, given better net interest income (NII) defensibility and greater capital relief as mark-to-market losses on bond books decrease. Our top ideas going into Q3 earnings include a mix of regionals and larger financial institutions.&#8221;
<ul>
<li>Top Picks:
<ul>
<li>U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>)</li>
<li>Western Alliance Bancorporation </li>
<li>PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNC#NYSE">PNC</a>)</li>
<li>Fifth Third Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITB#NYSE">FITB</a>)</li>
<li>M&amp;T Bank Corp.</li>
<li>Truist Financial Corporation</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>)</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs Inc.</li>
<li>Bank of New York Mellon Corp.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs – Richard Ramsden</h4>
Goldman Sachs is particularly optimistic about Citigroup heading into Q3 earnings, citing the bank's progress toward its 2024 targets driven by strong fee growth, solid capital markets activity, and robust card volumes. 
Ramsden is above consensus on Citigroup's Q3 pre-provision net revenue (PPNR), largely due to expectations of higher fees and capital markets activity.
<ul>
<li>Top Pick:

<li>Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>)</li>
