10:24 EDT - KBW says sentiment heading into Wells Fargo's(WFC) 2Q report Friday "seems high," with investors believing the company has the levers needed to continue to post higher per-share earnings despite a challenging operating environment. KBW notes that it isn't convinced that the quality of WFC's 1Q earnings--which included large private equity gains, substantial reserve releases and a significant tax benefit--"fully warrants some of the complacency around the shares." WFC kicks off reporting season for big banks since JPM is reporting later than usual, and its results will be parsed for a read-across the rest of the industry. (saabira.chaudhuri@wsj.com; @SaabiraC)
