Bank of America slides on settlement charge and revenue shortfall

Bank of America reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $6.9 billion, or $0.91 per diluted share, including a $1.2 billion regulatory settlement charge worth $0.17 per share. The charge relates to anti-money laundering failures. Excluding it, adjusted EPS was $1.08, a non-GAAP figure. Revenue, net of interest expense, reached $30.0 billion, up 3% year over year, with net interest income up 8% to $16.4 billion. ChartMill flagged a 4.3% revenue miss versus expectations. Global Markets revenue declined 6% to $5.9 billion, and investment banking fees fell 11% to $1.8 billion. Shares fell about 5% on Oct. 14.

Why it mattersA top-line miss alongside a one-off penalty suggests the pressure on the bank was broader than the charge, which shapes how investors judge large-bank earnings power.
