Citigroup reports earnings on Thursday before market open.

So, what is readers' favorite big bank stock amid earnings season?

According to a Benzinga poll of 168 respondents, 50.6 percent of readers said they like Bank of America the best amid earnings season.

Citigroup and Wells Fargo came in second and third, respectively, while the crowd said they like JPMorgan the least.

Perhaps of greater importance, readers also revealed their favorite metrics to use while analyzing the space. When asked "What metric are you watching the closest?" readers said they prefer forward guidance and net interest margin over earnings, revenue, loans and trading revenue.

Of note, this poll was conducted on Monday July 13, before the companies mentioned reported earnings.
