Ahead of the anticipated results, the Minnesota-based supply chain solutions company reported that its May sales rose 23.5% compared to last year.

The bank, alongside Citi (C) and Bank of America (BAC), tested relatively poorly in the stress test of 34 institutions in late June. However, some market experts have spotlighted JPMorgan as a potential stalwart in a difficult economic time, given its ability to deliver cash to shareholders.

On the positive side, TSM recently reported that prices for its products are due to rise, although this comes amid cost increases. Shortly before the quarterly report, Taiwanâs Economy Minister stated that TSMC order books remain âvery fullâ.
