Despite ongoing economic uncertainty and investors' concerns about potential slippage in credit quality, U.S. banks delivered strong third-quarter results that beat expectations across the board. In the episode, Chris Nichols, Director of Capital Markets at South State, discusses third-quarter earnings trends, including the continued resilience of consumer spending, the stabilization of credit quality after several quarters of deterioration, and the unexpected strength in fee income. Nichols and Street Talk host Nathan Stovall dissect the controversy around loans to nondepository financial institutions (NDFI) following several high-profile credit losses, debating whether these incidents represent isolated frauds or canaries in the coal mine. Nichols also highlighted strategic imperatives for banks heading into 2026 and argued that now is the time to rebuild deposit franchises through product innovation and marketing creativity—not rate competition. Nichols and Stovall also explore the reawakening M&A landscape as regulatory headwinds ease and activist investors enter the fray.

Tricolor bankruptcy prompts calls for transparency, portfolio reviews 

The Auto Finance Roadmap

Investors are seeking more transparency following Tricolor's Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing last month, which has also prompted several auto lenders to review their books and assure investors of loan quality and operational health.  The auto finance industry and asset-backed securitization issuers could benefit from more transparency and consistency in disclosure policies, panelists said during a session on Oct. 21 at FT Live's ABS East in Miami. Auto lenders are reviewing their portfolios following allegations levied against Tricolor for double-pledging of assets on its warehouse lines of credit. Ford Credit reviewed its millions of contracts to confirm they “are either not securitized or we are in one deal and one deal only,” Ryan Hershberger, director of global funding and capital markets for Ford Motor, said during a panel at the show.  Investors are looking for more information and understanding on how double-pledging could occur, Lendbuzz Chief Executive Amitay Kalmar said at the event. In fact, Credit Acceptance Corp. addressed investor questions in multiple 8-K filings with the SEC as the industry becomes more cautious. Meanwhile, third-quarter earnings point to growth at banks, captives and retailers. AutoNation Finance's originations jumped 85.7% year over year; Capital One's auto originations rose 17.2% YoY; Lithia Motors' finance arm Driveway Finance's originations rose 41.3% YoY; GM Financial's originations declined 3.5% YoY; and Ford Credit's portfolio and earnings before taxes increased YoY. Auto Finance Summit 2025 also highlighted how auto lenders are using AI and machine learning to track borrower habits, and where consumer sentiment is trending. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, senior associate editor Truth Headlam and associate editor Aidan Bush discuss key takeaways from recent industry events, including ABS East and Auto Finance Summit 2025, as well as Q3 earnings for the week ended Oct. 24.

When a Fortune 100 company needs billions, the choice between issuing corporate bonds and securing a bank loan is a critical strategic dilemma. It's not just about the lowest interest rate; it's about control, public scrutiny, risk, and scale.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we provide a strategic map for corporate finance professionals, dissecting the trade-offs, mechanics, and real-world scenarios that drive this foundational funding decision.This episode covers:The Three Paths to Debt: We break down the mechanisms of Traditional Bank Loans (speed, flexibility, but strict covenants), Syndicated Loans (group effort for big-ticket financing), and Corporate Bonds (massive scale, public scrutiny, long tenor).The Gatekeepers: The fundamental role of Credit Ratings (Moody's, S&P) in dictating the price of capital, separating safe Investment Grade issuers from riskier High Yield ("junk") bonds.Strategy in Action: Analysis of how Apple used domestic bonds for tax-efficient share buybacks and how Tesla tapped the high-yield market to fuel its massive early-stage growth when conservative banks were cautious.Crisis Response: Why companies like Delta Airlines and Ford rely on fast, flexible bank loans (revolving credit, syndicated facilities) when public bond markets seize up during a crisis (e.g., COVID-19).The Debt Amplifier: We discuss how debt magnifies outcomes—accelerating growth when fundamentals are strong, but accelerating collapse when WCM is weak (e.g., Toys R Us).The Resilience Framework: Five crucial questions to guide your decision-making, ensuring the structure of your financing (term, covenants, access) is robust enough to withst

Investors might be witnessing the biggest industrial reshoring effort in more than a generation. The global race for technological superiority—particularly around AI and critical semiconductors—is pushing both private capital and government support into ramping up domestic production. Meanwhile, shifting trade policies and geopolitical risk have ignited a realignment in global supply chains impacting a wide array of industries, from furniture to automobiles. But moving factories and building out domestic manufacturing capacity will likely face some speedbumps amid mismatches in labor, materials and costs. New innovations like factory automation bring their own set of implementation challenges. Understanding how the manufacturing outlook is evolving will be crucial as investors sort out potential winning and losing regions and industries. As factories prepare for the future, institutional investors are well positioned to provide the long-term capital that manufacturers seek to modernize operations, create more resilient supply chains, and grow.  This episode of The Outthinking Investor takes a deep dive into trade imbalances and tariffs; how manufacturers are dealing with macro uncertainty; manufacturing's role in supporting labor markets and the broader economy; potential obstacles that could slow reshoring; and portfolio strategies for capturing opportunities amid a manufacturing renaissance.    Our guests are:  Robert Lawrence, Albert L. Williams Professor of International Trade and Investment at Harvard Kennedy School and former member of the Council of Economic Advisers  Julius Krein, editor of policy journal American Affairs and head of policy at the New American Industrial Alliance  Josh Shipley, executive managing director and head of Europe at PGIM, overseeing corporate finance offices in the region  Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

Retirement confidence is under pressure. While younger generations are entering the workforce with optimism, the latest Read on Retirement report reveals troubling gaps between savers, plan sponsors, and retirees. Only 38% of employers believe their employees are on track, and confidence among retirees has dropped to historic lows.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Jamie Magyera, Head of BlackRock's U.S. Wealth Advisory and Retirement Business, about the findings from a decade of retirement data. Together, they explore what's driving the confidence gap and the bold actions needed to close it.Jamie highlights three calls to action for the retirement industry: expand access to professional management, deliver guaranteed income solutions, and broaden portfolios to include private markets. She also underscores the need for education and re-enrollment so savers fully benefit from these innovations. With retirement confidence at a crossroads, this episode offers both a reality check and a roadmap for plan sponsors, policymakers, and individuals alike.Sources: BlackRock's Read on Retirement Survey, September 2025Key insights include:· Why retirement savers' confidence often outpaces employers' assessment, and what this paradox reveals.· How target date funds and auto-enrollment are making retirement saving easier and more effective.· Why guaranteed income solutions are increasingly vital to ensure retirees don't outlive their savings.· The growing importance of private markets in delivering long-term returns and diversification alongside public markets.· Differences across generations and genders in retirement confidence — and how advice and professional management can help bridge gaps.· How market volatility, student debt, and competing financial priorities continue to challenge long-term savers.Timestamps:00:00 Retirement Confidence at a Crossroads01:59 Key Findings and Confidence Gaps in the latest Read on Retirement Report04:40 Calls to Action for Retirement Preparedness08:39 Generational Differences in Retirement Planning10:35 Gender Gaps in Retirement Confidence12:12 Challenges and Future of Retirement Planning16:50 Personal Reflections and Advice18:36 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsCheck out episode 225 on retirement planning where we discuss what new legislation could mean for your retirement account: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4mH8LyNQFsYSV0bxEH1NGU?si=ed429467800b4617Check out this playlist on investing for retirement here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08Fx1iZaBwLclqpswIbjUq

Capital Markets Pick Up as U.S. Policy Settles

Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy, Michael Zezas, examines growth in IPOs and M&A amid greater certainty around trade, immigration and regulation.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy.Today, let's talk about how changes in U.S. policy are shaping the markets in 2025—and why we're seeing a pickup in capital markets activity. It's Wednesday, September 24th at 10:30am in New York. At the start of this year, one thing investors agreed on was that with President Trump back in office, U.S. policy would shift in big ways. But there was less agreement about what those changes would mean for the economy and markets. Our team built a framework to help investors track changes in trade, fiscal, immigration, and regulatory policy – focusing on the sequencing and severity of these choices. That lens remains useful. But now, 250 days into the administration, we think it's more valuable to look at the impacts of those shifts, the durable policy signals, and how markets are pricing it all. Let's start with policy uncertainty. It is still high, but it's come down from the peaks we saw earlier this year. For example, the White House has made deals with key trading partners, which means tariff escalation is on pause for now. Of course, things could change if those partners don't meet their commitments, but any fallout may take a while to show up. Even if courts challenge new tariffs, the administration has ways to bring them back. And with Congress divided, most big policy moves are coming from the executive branch, not lawmakers. With policy changes slowing down, it's worth reflecting on a new durable consensus in Washington. For years, both parties mostly agreed on lowering trade barriers and keeping the government out of private business. But it seems that's changed. Industrial policy—where the government takes a more active role in shaping industries—is now a key part of U.S. strategy. Tariffs that started under Trump stayed under Biden, and even current critics focus more on how tariffs are applied than whether they should exist at all. You see this shift in areas like healthcare, energy, and especially technology. Take semiconductors. The CHIPS act under Biden aimed to build a secure domestic supply chain while Trump's approach includes licensing fees on exports to China and considering more government stakes in companies.So, why is capital markets activity picking up then? There are several drivers. First, less uncertainty about policy means companies feel more confident making big decisions. Earlier this year, activity like IPOs and mergers was unusually low compared to the size of the economy. But corporate balance sheets are strong—companies have plenty of cash, and private investors are looking to put money to work. Add in new needs for investment driven by artificial intelligence and technology upgrades, and you get a recipe for more deals. Our corporate clients have told us that having a smaller range of possible policy outcomes helped them move forward with strategic plans. Now, we're seeing the results: IPOs are up 68 percent year-on-year, and M&A is up 35 percent. Those numbers are coming off low levels, so the pace may slow, but we expect growth to continue for a while. This all syncs up with other trends in the market. For example, we continue to see steeper yield curves and a weaker dollar. Why? Well, trade policy is likely to stay restrictive. The fiscal policy trajectory appears locked in as the President and Congress have already made the fiscal choices that they prefer. And the Federal Reserve appears willing to tolerate more inflation risk in order to support growth. That means the dollar could keep falling and longer maturity bond yields could be sticky, even as shorter maturity yields decline to reflect the more dovish Fed. As always, it's important to watch how these trends interact with the broader economy, and that will be important to how we start deliberating on our outlook for 2026. We'll keep analyzing and share more with you as we go. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please leave us a review and tell your friends about the podcast.
