Bank of America (BAC, $35.15) beats Q4 earnings expectations

Bank of America (BAC, $35.15) beats Q4 earnings expectations

Bank of America’s earnings for the fourth quarter came in at 85 cents a share—beating analysts’ expectations of 77 cents per share (according to FactSet data).

Revenue rose +11% from the year-ago quarter to $24.5 billion in the quarter, which exceeded estimates of $24.2 billion.

Amidst a rising interest rate environment, Bank of America’s net interest income increased +29% to $14.7 billion for the quarter as the bank received higher interest payments on the loans it issued. 

The bank had a $1.1 billion provision for credit losses, up $1.6 billion compared with the same quarter in 2021, but mentioned that net charge-offs remain below pre-pandemic levels. Average loans and leases for the bank grew +10% year-over-year, while the same for consumer banking climbed +6%.

Bank of America’s chief executive Brian Moynihan said, “We ended the year on a strong note, growing earnings year over year in the fourth quarter in an increasingly slowing economic environment”.

“The themes in the quarter have been consistent all year as organic growth and rates helped deliver the value of our deposit franchise,” Moynihan added.

ORIC Pharmaceuticals shares are down approximately 21% in premarket trading on April 1, 2026, from a prior session close of approximately $12.19, placing the premarket price near $9.63. The primary catalyst is the after-market release of Phase 1b dose optimization data for rinzimetostat (ORIC-944) on March 31, alongside the selection of 400 mg once daily as the recommended Phase 3 dose for the Himalayas-1 registrational trial.
Shares of Target Hospitality Corp. (Nasdaq: TH) surged approximately 38% during Wednesday's trading session, climbing from a prior close of $9.28 to approximately $12.81.

Shares of Turning Point Brands (TPB) are falling sharply intraday on April 1, 2026, shedding approximately 15% from their prior session close of roughly $87.41, placing the stock near $74.30. The primary catalyst is broad investor risk-off selling tied to mounting trade-policy uncertainty ahead of President Trump's sweeping tariff announcements scheduled for April 2 — a day the administration has branded "Liberation Day".
Shares of Philip Morris International fell approximately 8% during intraday trading on April 1, 2026, dropping from a prior close of $165.34 to around $152.11.

I've been following CG Oncology, Inc. (CGON), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing cretostimogene grenadenorepvec. This investigational oncolytic immunotherapy aims to serve as a bladder-sparing therapeutic for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The company's focus remains on pushing this intravesical therapy through Phase 3 trials to address high unmet needs in BCG-unresponsive and intermediate-risk NMIBC, where treatments like BCG frequently fall short. In the broader biotech landscape, CG Oncology stands out with cretostimogene's encouraging durability and tolerability, which could position it as a foundational therapy. From what I see, these solid fundamentals—bolstered by strong clinical data and regulatory steps—have directly supported the recent stock price gains amid positive trial developments.
From what I see, Home Depot (HD) remains the world's largest home improvement retailer, operating over 2,300 stores across North America with a broad selection of products for construction, renovation, and maintenance. The company blends big-box retail with an expanding e-commerce platform and tailored services for professional contractors, drawing revenue from both do-it-yourself (DIY) consumers and do-it-for-me (DIFM) pros. In a competitive landscape against players like Lowe's, HD maintains dominance through its scale, efficient supply chain, and strong loyalty programs. Much of its performance ties directly to the housing market—home sales, remodeling, and repairs—which explains the recent pressure on the stock from subdued activity and high mortgage rates limiting turnover and major projects.
GE Aerospace (GE) stock declined -12% over the past 30 days, falling from around $333 to $293, amid profit-taking after record highs near $348. Over the past quarter, the stock is down -8%, reflecting post-earnings selloff despite strong Q4 2025 results with 20% revenue growth.
