The San Francisco-based bank has been experiencing double digit growth for the past 20 years - earnings and revenues have averaged 14% and 11% growth, respectively. So 2006 was no big surprise: Revenues were up 19% and profits grew 11% to $8.5 billion, aided by high-yielding consumer loans, customer service fees, and wholesale banking. Still, the bank's subprime lending operations could hurt next year's results.
