"While we think a slower Fed easing cycle should provide some benefit to more asset sensitive names, we expect deposit betas on the downside to be relatively less than they were on the upside, offsetting less pressure on earning asset yields, and drives our NII estimates lower by a median of 1% in 2024 and 2025," the analyst wrote.

"Most bank management teams are anticipating an acceleration in loan growth sometime later this year, which will likely limit aggressive deposit repricing as retention becomes more important for funding efforts," he added.

"Our 2024/2025 EPS estimates are 12%/13% below consensus and our 2024/2025 NII estimates are $849m/$878m vs. consensus at $908m/$962m," King further stated.
