Bank of America Q3 profit falls to $6.9B after $1.2B penalty despite higher interest income

Bank of America reported a third-quarter net income of $6.9 billion, down from $8.3 billion a year earlier, mainly due to a $1.2 billion regulatory penalty related to compliance issues. Excluding this charge, adjusted net income rose to $8.1 billion, supported by a 3% revenue increase to $30 billion driven by higher interest income and wealth management fees. Consumer banking and asset management showed growth, while investment banking fees and trading revenue declined. The bank returned $8.3 billion to shareholders and maintained a strong capital ratio of 10.9%. Shares dropped nearly 8% following the announcement.

Bank of America shares have fallen sharply by 8.41% on Pluang as of Oct 14, 2026 21:02 WIB, trading at USD 49.42, close to their 52-week low of USD 46.72 and well below the 52-week high of USD 64.81. This drop contrasts with the bank's maintained strong capital ratio and dividend yield of 2.37%, while the majority of Pluang investors are selling, with 76% of order activity on the platform being sell orders. The stock's market cap stands at $377.33 billion, reflecting significant investor caution following recent regulatory penalties.
