Bank of America is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings before the opening bell Wednesday.

Here’s what Wall Street expects:

  • Earnings: $1.01 a share, according to LSEG
  • Revenue: $29.93 billion, according to LSEG
  • Net interest income: $15.67 billion, according to StreetAccount
  • Trading: Fixed Income of $3.83 billion, equities of $2.48 billion, according to StreetAccount

Bank of America, the second-largest U.S. bank by assets, has topped expectations for earnings per share for 23 consecutive quarters.

The company has guided for net interest income, the profitability metric for loan-making, to increase between 5% and 7% this year amid a flattening yield curve. Analysts and investors will be monitoring whether the bank reaffirms that guidance.

Last quarter, CEO Brian Moynihan highlighted consumer and business resiliency along with a favorable regulatory environment as factors poised to drive economic growth. Analysts will want to hear whether his bullishness carries over into 2026 amid geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices.

On Tuesday, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase posted results that exceeded expectations. However, JPMorgan pared back its full-year net interest income guidance to $103 billion.

Wells Fargo was the biggest laggard of the group, falling short of both revenue and net interest income estimates when it reported earnings on Tuesday.

Morgan Stanley is set to release its first-quarter results on Wednesday, following Bank of America’s report.
