Who Benefited

Investors, common shareholders, and bank management benefited from improved reported earnings, stronger loan production and deposit growth across several regional banks, which in turn supported share-price gains and increased reported capital metrics.

Who Impacted

Increases in non-interest expenses and provisions for credit losses reduced some banks' net income growth rates and may have constrained incremental profit that would otherwise have been available to common stockholders.
