Published Mon, Jul 18 20229:20 AM EDT

What I am looking at July 18, 2022 Quarterly earnings report from Bank of America (BAC) was very solid. Revenue rose 6% to $22.79 billion, beating analyst estimates. Loan growth is good. The consumer is amazingly good — don't know if consumer can be slowed down easily. Goldman Sachs (GS) posted profit and revenue that beat analysts' estimates. Earnings $7.73 a share vs. $6.58 per share consensus. Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC) quarterly results were both better than expected.

Delta (DAL) buys 100 Boeing (BA) Max planes — first major order with the plane maker in more than a decade. UnitedHealth (UNH) price target raised to $587 from $570 at Morgan Stanley — another great quarter from a Dow stock. Bitcoin bounces back, tops $22,000 ... takes pressure off market. Constellation Brands (STZ) remains a top pick at Jefferies. Paramount (PARA) downgraded to sell from hold at Morgan Stanley. Disney (DIS) is raising ESPN+ subscription price to $9.99 from $6.99 a month. Deutsche Bank is very cautious on autos, downgrades General Motors (GM) to hold on earnings risk. Favors Tesla (TSLA), seeing opportunity after 30% pullback in shares. Kraft Heinz (KHC) initiated with a buy at Mizuho, says Street is undervaluing company's growth potential. Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi is modestly increasing his third-quarter estimates for Apple (AAPL), due to better-than-expected supply and healthy Chinese demand.
