The financial sector is showing resilience with Charles Schwab and U.S. Bancorp beating earnings estimates, driven by strong net interest income and effective expense control. However, not all results are positive, with ManpowerGroup missing revenue estimates and First Horizon reporting a significant revenue miss. This mixed bag suggests that while large banks are benefiting from higher rates, regional banks and labor-intensive financial services are facing headwinds. The overall sentiment for financials is cautiously positive, supported by the rate hike narrative.
