The clearest engine behind the quarter's strength was a 10% surge in net interest income to $15.75 billion, the fifth consecutive quarter of sequential NII improvement, fueled by fixed-rate asset repricing, rising deposit balances that topped $2.00 trillion for the first time, and average loan growth of 8% year-over-year to $1.17 trillion. Credit quality added to the constructive picture, with net charge-offs falling to $1.29 billion from $1.47 billion a year ago. The bank returned $8.40 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, 41% more than in 2024, while the CET1 ratio held at 11.4%. CEO Brian Moynihan expressed confidence heading into 2026, with management guiding for NII growth of 5-7% and approximately 200 basis points of operating leverage for the full year.

“Bank of America's fourth quarter results capped off a strong year of earnings as we delivered more than $30 billion in net income and EPS grew 19% over 2024. And with solid revenue growth, positive operating leverage and a lower efficiency ratio, we improved returns year-over-year for both the full year and the quarter.”
