Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading: Wells Fargo — Shares of the San Francisco-based lender dropped nearly 7% after the firm reported a 9% decline in net interest income. Wells Fargo recorded $11.92 billion in net interest income, a key measure of what a bank makes on lending, below the $12.12 billion expected by analysts, according to FactSet. The bank’s second-quarter earnings and revenue did exceed Wall Street expectations. JPMorgan — Shares slipped 2% despite the bank posting an earnings and revenue beat for its second quarter. JPMorgan reported revenue of $50.99 billion, higher than the $49.87 billion analysts polled by LSEG had expected. The bank’s per-share adjusted earnings of $4.26 also beat the forecast consensus of $4.19 in earnings per share. However, JPMorgan had a higher provision for credit losses than estimated in the current quarter, which indicates that it expects more borrowers will default on loans going forward. Citigroup — The shares dropped more than 2% even after the bank reported better-than-expected profit as investment banking activity surged. Earnings per share came in at $1.52 for the second quarter, compared to $1.39 a share expected by analysts polled by LSEG. Revenue was about as expected for the period as fixed income revenue dipped slightly. AT & T , Snowflake — AT & T shares slipped 1% after the telecommunications company revealed that a third-party platform illegally downloaded its customer data.
