Big banks kicked off Q3’25 earnings season on a strong note, soundly beating Street estimates on both the top- and bottom-line with results powered by robust investment banking and capital markets activity, building on the momentum seen coming out of last quarter.
Early channel checks with clients indicate general strength in Q3’25 and cautious optimism but not yet outright confidence. On the headwind side that may be underappreciated by investors (based on our recent Inside The Buy-Side® surveys) is the softening labor market and impact of the government shutdown.

Recent earnings calls reflect a complex environment. It’s still tough sledding for many, particularly those tied to residential and industrial end markets not benefiting from large capital projects.
Against this dynamic backdrop, executives are striking a measured but constructive tone — acknowledging uncertainty around trade policy, housing softness, and a cautious consumer, while also pointing to solid recent performance and emphasizing their ability to adapt in a fluid environment.
Operating in a highly dynamic and capital-intensive industry, Semiconductor and Semi Equipment companies face a dynamic backdrop as they compete for investor attention.
Since 2007, we have surveyed global investors quarterly on the equity markets, world economies, and business climate. At the start of every earnings season, we publish our flagship Inside The Buy-Side® Earnings Primer®, which captures real-time Voice of Investor® sentiment and trends.
