Bank of America Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates but Stock Remains Flat; Analysts See Upside
Even the toaster can't save this one.
Summary
Bank of America delivered strong Q1 2026 results with EPS of $1.11 and revenue of $30.27 billion, driven by 9% growth in net interest income, 30% surge in equities trading, and 21% increase in investment banking fees. Despite these results, the stock has moved sideways and remains down year-to-date. The bullish outlook is supported by fixed-rate asset repricing, deposit growth to $2.02 trillion, wealth management momentum, and a steepening yield curve. Analyst consensus targets around $63.16, though risks include rate-driven NII compression and rising nonperforming loans.
