David Ellison breaks down bank earnings and why healthy credit, loan demand and deposits point to a strong economy. He discusses JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Citigroup (C), arguing that higher rates remain manageable for banks and that the U.S. needs larger financial institutions to support growing debt and capital needs. Ellison also weighs the risks surrounding AI investment, OpenAI and Anthropic, plus opportunities and challenges from fintech, crypto and stablecoins.
