Bank of America meldet aktuell Quartalszahlen

Soeben wurden die Quartalszahlen der Bank of America veröffentlicht. Hier die wichtigsten Kennzahlen.

Der Umsatz liegt bei 20,1 Milliarden Dollar (Vorjahresquartal 22,3/Erwartungen 20,2). Der Gewinn liegt bei 0,59 Dollar pro Aktie (Vorjahresquartal 0,74/Erwartungen 0,56).

Die Rückstellung für Kreditverluste sank auf 53 Millionen US-Dollar, was eine Auflösung von Rückstellungen in Höhe von 828 Millionen US-Dollar bedeutet. Wie die großen anderen US-Banken auch löst man also Rückstellungen auf, weil man wohl auch dank der gigantischen Stimulus- und Hilfsprogramme an weniger Kreditausfälle glaubt.

Die Aktie notiert vorbörslich mit +0,5 Prozent.

CEO-Kommentar:

„During 2020, we witnessed the dramatic effects of the health crisis on the economy and our company’s operations. In the fourth quarter, we continued to see signs of a recovery, led by increased consumer spending, stabilizing loan demand by our commercial customers, and strong markets and investing activity. The latest stimulus package, continued progress on vaccines, and our talented teammates – who performed well helping their customers through this crisis – position us well as the recovery continues.

„In the fourth quarter, we saw higher net interest income, higher Consumer revenue, record asset management fees, strong results from our Global Markets teams, and a stronger balance sheet. In 2020, we earned nearly $18 billion and achieved several key strategic objectives: gaining market share in deposits, expanding our digital leadership, and adding thousands of wealth management clients. In addition, we gained market share in investment banking and supported clients with liquidity and superior trading
execution.

„Also we made progress in support of our communities, committing $300 million of our $1 billion four-year initiative to help drive racial equality and economic opportunity.“
