TREE NEWS reports: Bank of America reported third-quarter earnings per share of 91 cents. FICC trading revenue excluding debt valuation adjustments came in at $2.55 billion against an estimated $2.86 billion, while equities trading revenue excluding DVA was $2.51 billion versus an estimated $2.63 billion. The bank’s US shares fell more than 3% in premarket trading.
Bank of America Q3 EPS 91 Cents; Trading Revenue Misses Estimates
The headline EPS number masks the more telling detail: both FICC and equities trading revenue came in below estimates, and the market's premarket reaction targeted the trading shortfall rather than the bottom line. For a bank of this scale, that gap is a read on client activity and positioning through the quarter, not just a single-line miss. Whether the weakness is idiosyncratic or reflects broader trading conditions across peers is the open question as the rest of the sector reports.
