The major indexes slid lower on recession fears as big banks report earnings — and more in Friday’s stock market recap.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) beat analysts’ expectations on earnings and revenue, but said a mild recession remains its chief concern for the coming year, causing shares to fall 3% in premarket trading.

Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) also beat earnings and revenue estimates, but the bank’s net interest income came in below expectations despite rising interest rates. Its shares fell 2.8% premarket.

Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) was one of the worst performers as it struggled with the impact of a record settlement. Earnings fell more than 50% from a year ago, and revenue came in more than 5% below estimates, causing shares to drop more than 4% premarket.

Banks are also setting aside reserves to prepare for potential credit losses as we approach a less favorable economic environment.

But legendary trader Tom Busby discovered there’s a subcategory of earnings reports that open a special window called an “earnings drift.”

And for these select stocks, during the 72-hour period after they report, a massive opportunity window can open for investors.

Tom recently sat down with me to share all the details on this incredible breakthrough…
