Bank of America stock slides before the bell after earnings — what traders watch next
Bank of America shares fell 3.7% to $52.48 in Thursday premarket trading, extending losses after beating fourth-quarter profit forecasts. The drop comes as investors weigh Federal Reserve rate uncertainty and a proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates. The bank reported $7.6 billion in net income and reaffirmed its 2026 outlook. U.S. jobless claims fell by 9,000 to 198,000 last week, below expectations.
