Last week was the unofficial start to second-quarter earnings season. But things really pick up this week, as a number of blue-chip companies are set to report.

The banks will be the headliners, as four of the six major U.S. financials will give a snapshot of how their April through June quarters went. Two of them – JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) – reported earnings last Friday, with mixed results.

Wells Fargo continued its promising run of solid earnings growth, reporting a record $4.6 billion in second-quarter profits – a 17% improvement from the same quarter in 2011.

JPMorgan Chase’s earnings weren’t so glossy, dragged down by more than $4 billion in trading losses thanks to the so-called “London Whale.” Still, the largest U.S. bank did manage to turn a modest profit of $1.20 per share – a number that exceeded the 70 cents per share most analysts were projecting.

Both big bank stocks popped as a result of their earnings beats. We’ll know by the end of this week whether that’s a sign of things to come for financials this earnings season.
