Bank of America (ISIN US0605051046) was trading at EUR 45.94 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 10:03 a.m. CEST, down 1.01 percent versus the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 46.41. The move follows third-quarter results that combined resilient interest income with a USD 1.20 billion regulatory penalty. CNBC reported the figures on October 14, 2026.
Third-quarter results expose the split
Reported net income fell 17.00 percent to USD 6.93 billion in the third quarter of 2026, while earnings per share came in at USD 0.91. Excluding the regulatory penalty, adjusted earnings per share reached USD 1.08, below the USD 1.10 consensus estimate, according to CNBC.
Revenue rose 3.20 percent year over year to USD 30.12 billion on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, but missed the USD 30.69 billion expectation. Fixed-income trading revenue dropped 17.00 percent to USD 2.55 billion, while equities trading revenue increased 10.00 percent to USD 2.51 billion.
What matters after the miss?
Net interest income provides the clearest counterweight to the weak trading figures. It rose 7.90 percent year over year to USD 16.60 billion in the third quarter, slightly above the USD 16.53 billion estimate, giving the bank a stronger lending base even as capital-markets income weakened.
