Prudential Financial Q1 Adj. EPS $3.29 Beats $3.18 Estimate, Sales $13.41B Miss $14.27B Estimate

Wall Street traded lower on the final session of the month, heading for its third consecutive monthly loss as economic data began reflecting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">impact of Trump tariffs.</a>
U.S. GDP shrank by 0.3% in the last quarter, marking the first economic contraction since 2022 and missing forecasts for a 0.4% expansion. The decline was driven by a surge in imports and reduced government spending.
Labor market data also disappointed. The ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added just 62,000 jobs in April—the weakest gain in nine months and well below the expected 108,000.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was down 1% to 5,500, on pace to end a six-day winning streak. Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 lagged ahead of earnings from industry titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc.
Nine of the S&amp;P 500's eleven sectors were in the red, with only consumer staples and health care posting modest gains. Energy and consumer discretionary led the losses, falling 3.3% and 2.7%, respectively.
Commodities were broadly lower. Oil tumbled 3.7% to $58 a barrel, approaching its lowest close since March 2021. Copper—often seen as a gauge of global growth—plunged 5.2% to $4.60 per pound. Natural gas declined 2.5% to $3.17 per million British thermal units.
Bond markets were steady, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering at 4.17%. Gold dipped 0.3% to $3,330 per ounce, while the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened by the same margin.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed resilience, holding steady at around $93,000 despite broader market weakness.

Shares of financial companies are trading higher amid overall market strength after President Trump said he will not be firing Fed Chair Powell. Additionally, Trump indicated the final tariff rate would be lower than the current one, which may lead to greater business and lending activity for financial institutions.

Shares of financial companies are trading higher amid Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's remarks about trade de-escalation with China, which may help restore investor confidence towards the sector.

Piper Sandler analyst John Barnidge maintains Prudential Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRU#NYSE">PRU</a>) with a Neutral and lowers the price target from $122 to $110.

Piper Sandler Maintains Neutral on Prudential Financial, Lowers Price Target to $110

Wall Street kicked off the week with a rally in financial stocks, fueled by upbeat bank earnings and renewed risk appetite following Donald Trump's surprise decision to exempt new tariffs on critical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44785381/economist-accuses-trump-tariffs-of-wrecking-the-world-economy-predicts-ways-in-which-china-will-retaliate">tech products from China</a>.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) climbed 1.6% to $47.42 by 10:10 a.m. ET, breaking above its 200-day moving average for the first time since November 2023—a move often seen by traders as a potential bullish signal. 
The sector needs to climb another 4% to fully recover the losses it incurred after the April 2 tariff announcement.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Delivers A Strong Beat</h3>
The improved sentiment in financial sector's rally was led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), which rose 1.1% after reporting robust quarterly results that beat Wall Street expectations on both revenue and profit.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Goldman posted earnings per share of $14.12, up from $11.58 a year ago and well ahead of the $14.761 billion revenue consensus. Key revenue drivers included equities trading, which brought in $4.19 billion versus an expected $3.8 billion, and net interest income of $2.90 billion, comfortably above the $2.28 billion forecast.
The firm also announced a massive share buyback authorization of up to $40 billion, sending a strong signal of confidence in its balance sheet and forward earnings power. Loans reached $210 billion, topping the $197.61 billion estimate, while total deposits rose 8.8% quarter-over-quarter to $471 billion.
CEO David Solomon says geopolitical volatility remains a headwind but struck an optimistic tone on trade policy. "I&#8217;m encouraged by Trump&#8217;s more gradual tariff process,&#8221; he added.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Earnings Strength Buoys Sector</h3>
Stronger-than-expected results last Friday from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>) helped lift sentiment across the board.
JPMorgan maintains its 2025 net interest income guidance despite macroeconomic headwinds tied to trade and inflation.
Goldman analyst Richard Ramsden found this encouraging. 
"JPM continues to be in strong strategic position for a wide range of economic conditions," Ramsden said, highlighting the bank's "best-in-class capital ratios and reserves,&#8221; Ramsden said in a note. He added that if the economy weakens, JPM should trade defensively, and if the outlook improves, the bank is likely to continue gaining market share.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traders Eye Technical Breakout In Financials</h3>
The breakout in the XLF fund above its 200-day moving average could signal further gains ahead. 
This level, long watched by technical analysts as a line between bullish and bearish territory, was last crossed from below to above in November 2023. Over the following one and two months, the sector gained 6.2% and 11.8%, respectively.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Gainers And What's Ahead</h3>
Banking and insurance names led Monday&#8217;s charge. Among the top gainers in the XLF ETF:
<ul>
<li>Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) rose 3.6% to $63.86</li>
<li>MetLife Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MET#NYSE">MET</a>) added 2.8% to $73.41</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) gained 2.8% to $111.15</li>
<li>Prudential Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRU#NYSE">PRU</a>) advanced 2.76% to $101.56</li>
<li>Globe Life Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GL#NYSE">GL</a>) climbed 2.56% to $122.56</li>
</ul>
Investors now turn their focus to Tuesday, when Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and Citigroup are scheduled to report their first-quarter earnings. 
Strong numbers from these names could reinforce the bullish momentum in financials and potentially extend the rally through the week.
