Zions Bancorp is scheduled to report its third-quarter earnings after the bell in what has once again become a challenging environment for regional banks, following its recent disclosure of a $50 million charge-off on two commercial and industrial loans issued by its California Bank & Trust subsidiary. The bank cited “apparent misrepresentations and contractual defaults” by the borrowers and has initiated legal action, prompting investor concern and a sharp sell-off in the stock. The news comes as Zions continues to struggle with weak SIA technical attributes, trading in a broad $40–$60 range and failing to sustain momentum above key resistance levels.
