Bank of America Stock Falls as Earnings Fall Short of Expectations


Bank of America stock was falling after the bank’s earnings fell short of analyst expectations.

BofA posted a fiscal fourth-quarter profit of $2.84 billion, or 35 cents a share, missing Wall Street’s call for a profit of $4.38 billion, or earnings of 53 cents a share. In the year-ago quarter, it posted a profit of $6.9 billion, or 85 cents a share.

Adjusting for one-time charges, Bank of America earned 70 cents a share, meeting forecasts.

Revenue of $21.96 billion fell short of expectations for $23.7 billion, while net interest income was $13.95 billion, in line with analyst predictions. The year prior, BofA reported revenue of $24.53 billion and net interest income of $14.68 billion.

“We reported solid fourth quarter and full-year results as all our businesses achieved strong organic growth, with record client activity and digital engagement,” said CEO Brian Moynihan in a statement. “This activity led to good loan demand and growth in deposits in the quarter and full-year net income of $26.5 billion. Our expense discipline allowed us to continue investing in growth initiatives. Strong capital and liquidity levels position us well to continue to deliver responsible growth in 2024.”

BofA stock was down 2.3% to $32.40 in premarket trading Friday.
