It is seeking long-term shareholders who held shares before December 2024 and still hold them. On October 13, 2026, the US Treasury Department said its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network had assessed a $1.2 billion penalty against Bank of America, N.A. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act by failing to keep an adequate anti-money-laundering program, conduct due diligence on foreign correspondent accounts, and file suspicious activity reports. A $750 million penalty from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is credited against the total. On October 14, the company reported a $1.2 billion settlement charge in the third quarter, with net income of $6.9 billion, down from $8.3 billion a year earlier.

The 2-year Treasury yield jumped more than 10 basis points after the report, then eased to 4.808%.

Goldman Sachs posted its second-highest quarterly net revenue ever, $18.68 billion, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America missed expectations. Goldman's earnings per share were $17.01, against expectations of $13.02, driven by a 72% surge in equities revenue. JPMorgan reported $50.17 billion in revenue, below the $51.22 billion expected, and earnings per share of $5.57 versus $5.90. It missed on both for the first time in nearly three years, as fixed-income trading fell 4% to $5.4 billion and costs rose 12%. Bank of America's profit fell 17% to $6.93 billion, ending a six-quarter beat streak. Regulators had announced a $1.2 billion penalty against it a day earlier. Wells Fargo missed on revenue, at $21.87 billion against $22.31 billion expected. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup beat estimates. Bank chiefs said the US consumer remains resilient, though some analysts worry about credit as interest rates rise.
A Bank of America (BofA) survey of 117 advertisers and agencies suggests ChatGPT is starting to compete with Google for future ad budgets.

Bank of America has hired 1,000 contractors to help patch software flaws exposed by advanced AI models, including Anthropic's Mythos, chief executive officer Brian Moynihan told CNBC on Wednesday. The contractors work alongside 3,000 internal staff and have been in place since the second quarter. The bank spent a "couple hundred million plus" in the third quarter on software fixes and anti-money laundering compliance. Moynihan expects remediation costs to fall over time. "Once you patch, you don't have to patch as much," he said. Shares slumped as much as 8% on Wednesday. AI is also cutting costs. Savings from the bank's 130 internal AI projects are expected to rise from $300 million this year to $700 million in 2027.
