Bank of America (ISIN US0605051046) was last at USD 54 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, up 0.47 percent from the prior close. The next major checkpoint is the bank's third-quarter report on October 14, with results scheduled before the market opens.

October 14 sets the next test

According to Yahoo Finance on September 30, 2026, Bank of America will release its third-quarter 2026 results at 6:45 a.m. ET on October 14, followed by an investor call at 8:30 a.m. ET. That date puts net-interest income, credit costs and fee revenue at the center of the next earnings test.

The prior quarter established a demanding comparison. In Q2 2026, revenue grew 15 percent year over year to USD 31.6 billion, while net income rose 27 percent to USD 9.1 billion, according to the Fortune transcript of the July 14, 2026 earnings call.

Q2 earnings raised the bar

Bank of America's Q2 diluted EPS reached USD 1.21, a 34 percent year-over-year increase. The same quarter delivered a 17 percent return on tangible common equity, while net interest income rose 9 percent year over year to USD 16.2 billion, as reported by Fortune.

Management also guided to full-year 2026 net-interest-income growth at the upper end of its 6 percent to 8 percent range. For the October report, the key question is whether loan and deposit growth can offset tougher comparisons in markets and investment banking.

Analysts still see upside

The analyst view remains constructive despite recent target reductions. MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy consensus based on 20 Buy ratings and 6 Hold ratings, with an average target of USD 63.78. Against the USD 54 price, that target stands USD 9.78 higher, or 18.1 percent above the share price.

JPMorgan cut its target from USD 68 to USD 62 while retaining an Overweight rating in an October 2, 2026 report, according to MarketBeat. The revised target remains USD 8 above the latest price, leaving the October 14 results as the next evidence point for the valuation.
