Bank of America was expected to record higher interest income due to higher interest rates and increased lending volumes in the fourth quarter. The bank reported interest income of $14.7 billion, up 29% over the previous year but slightly below Wall Street's expectations of $14.9 billion, according to StreetAccount.

This gain helped offset the decline of investment banking income, which fell more than 50% to $1.1 billion. This result was largely in line with expectations, according to StreetAccount.
Initially Bank of America stock rose almost 1% in pre-market, however sellers quickly regained control and stock is trading 1.5% lower around $33.90 per share. Source: xStation5
