Bank of America (BAC) reported a 5.7% earnings decline to 83 cents per share, just clearing FactSet views of 80 cents per share. Revenue, net of interest expense, rose 1% to $25.4 billion. The bank’s revenue for the quarter beat analyst estimates of $25.22 billion.

Net interest income decreased 3% to $13.7 billion and Bank of America said its higher deposit costs more than offset higher asset yields and modest loan growth. On a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis, Bank of America’s net interest income was $13.9 billion for the quarter. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $13.83 billion in net interest income for the quarter.

Bank of America increased its provision for credit losses to $1.5 billion, up from the $1.3 billion set aside in Q1 and $1.1 billion last year, respectively.

The Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank guided FTE net interest income to reach $14.5 billion by Q4 2024.

State Street pared gains to less than 1% Tuesday morning on its earnings. STT stock is trading near a 79.90 buy point for a flat base.

PNC stock swung nearly 3% higher to extend out of a buy zone after its net income and revenue results beat views.

Morgan Stanley beat estimates with a 47% earnings increase on about 12% revenue growth. However, net interest income fell 17% for the quarter. MS stock dipped a fraction to trade just above a 103.25 buy point for a cup base.
