The release also confirms that Bank of America Corporation stock trades under the BAC ticker on the New York Stock Exchange. That listing determines the USD reference price used here.

Q2 delivered a clear comparison

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Bank of America reported USD 31.56 billion in revenue, up 19.6 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to MarketBeat on October 5, 2026. Diluted earnings per share reached USD 1.21, above the USD 1.13 consensus estimate.

The bank's own investor-relations page lists Q2 2026 net income at USD 9.1 billion, revenue net of interest expense at USD 31.6 billion, diluted earnings per share at USD 1.21 and return on tangible common equity at 17.0 percent, all for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. These figures make the upcoming report a test of whether revenue growth can offset pressure on investment-banking and trading activity.

Consensus stays above the quote

MarketBeat reported on October 7, 2026, that 20 analysts rate the stock Buy and six rate it Hold. The published consensus is Moderate Buy with an average price target of USD 64.39, placing the target 20.5 percent above the USD 53.45 price.

The same report puts projected third-quarter earnings at USD 1.10 per share and revenue at USD 30.65 billion. That forecast would represent a sequential decline from the Q2 EPS figure of USD 1.21, making expenses, credit trends and fee income central points for the October 14 update.
