20 big days in a year, and what we hold on each
A big day is a close more than 2.50% from the one before, three times USB’s median day (0.83%). On 15 of the 20, its peer group moved the same way at least half as far. We show what we hold. We never name a cause.

A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of JPM, BAC, WFC and C that day, the largest companies in USB’s SEC industry; “moved with USB” means the same direction and at least half the size.
What’s next · results
Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did
Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). USB reports before the open, so day 1 is that day’s close. 2 of 4 times, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected mid JanuaryEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Oct 15 report: +6.20%. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is USB’s close against its close before the filing, on licensed end-of-day closes. What happened after each report, not a forecast; a move on the day is not a cause.
Same industry
USB against four bank peers, a year at 100
USB is up 26.3% in a year. All four did less: Citigroup (+23.8%), JPMorgan Chase (+12.1%), Wells Fargo (+1.6%) and Bank of America (−3.0%). Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
End-of-day closes (Databento EOD), the last close of each week. The four peers are the largest US-listed companies by market value in USB’s SEC industry (National Commercial Banks) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
