Bank of America Tops Estimates on Better-Than-Expected Trading Revenue

Tiger Newspress10-15

Bank of America reported third-quarter earnings before the opening bell Tuesday.

Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street analysts surveyed by LSEG were expecting:

  • Earnings: 81 cents, vs. 77 cents expected

  • Revenue: $25.49 billion, vs. $25.3 billion expected

How quickly will Bank of America benefit from falling interest rates?

That’s a key question after the lender signaled in July that a rebound in net interest income was coming in the second half of this year.

Bank of America has seen its haul from net interest income get compressed as the Federal Reserve boosted rates over the past two years. Now that the Fed is easing rates, analysts will be keen to understand how that will impact the bank.

NII, which is one of the key ways that banks make money, is the difference between what a bank earns on loans and investments and what it pays depositors for their savings.

JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo on Friday posted earnings that topped estimates, helped by their investment banking operations. Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are also scheduled to report results Tuesday, while Morgan Stanley will disclose earnings Wednesday.
