The major indexes rose Friday morning on a regional bank rebound and Apple earnings beat.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) upgraded Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE: WAL), Zions Bancorporation (Nasdaq: ZION) and Comerica Inc. (NYSE: CMA) to overweight, saying that the banks were “substantially mispriced” due to short-selling activity.
Western Alliance gained more than 34% while beleaguered PacWest Bancorp (Nasdaq: PACW) jumped 54%. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE: KRE) also rose 2.4%.
Meanwhile, Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) beat both top- and bottom-line estimates for the second quarter, partly thanks to strong iPhone sales. Shares rose more than 2% during premarket trading.
