Earnings for all financials are expected to be up, however the gains may not be reflected in the stock prices. The earnings may already be built into each bank, as the stock price has consistently rose for the past three months.

Since September, shares of CIBC have performed the strongest, gaining 9.82%, followed by Royal Bank of Canada, up 9.13%, followed by BMO, up 5.16%, TD at 4.21% and BNS, up 3.00%.
