On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — sponsored by Intrafi — ABA Banking Journal Contributing Editor Paul Davis discusses:

• The overall resilience seen in the banking sector's first-quarter earnings reports.
• The disconnect between the health of the banking sector and financial market performance for certain bank stocks.
• What to expect from this season's annual shareholder meetings, including anticipated activist activities.
• An update on M&A activity in 2023.
