Good quarter Investor Presentation One-Pager? Q1 2026
Revenue
$30.3B
+7% YoY
Net Income
$8.6B
+17% YoY
What Went Right
  • Net interest income up 9% YoY to $15.9B (FTE), beating expectations
  • Operating leverage of 290 bps driven by 7% revenue growth vs 4% expense growth
  • All four business segments grew revenue, earnings, deposits, and loans YoY
What to Watch
  • Global Markets NII growth may moderate if interest rates remain stable without further cuts
  • Uncertainty from Middle East conflicts and trade tariff policy impacting commercial client sentiment
  • Expense guidance maintained at ~4% growth, but revenue-related costs could rise if activity sustains
Management Guidance
  • 2026 full-year NII growth guidance raised to 6-8% YoY (from prior view)
  • Expect more than 200 bps of positive operating leverage for the full year
  • Effective tax rate for 2026 expected to be just above 20%
Investor Lens
The thesis strengthens after this call. BAC delivered broad-based growth, improved NII outlook, and maintained expense discipline, leading to 16% ROTCE. The diversified earnings model and strong capital generation provide resilience against macro risks. Positive operating leverage and benign credit support the path toward medium-term return targets.

📈 STRONG Strong quarter with 25% EPS growth and 7% revenue expansion
Revenue
Total revenue, net of interest expense, was $30.3 billion, up 7% YoY. NII grew 9% to $15.9B (FTE), driven by loan/deposit growth and fixed-rate asset repricing. Fee-based businesses (Markets, Wealth, Investment Banking) posted double-digit revenue growth, with Equities up 30% and IB fees up 21%.
Profitability
Net income rose 17% YoY to $8.6 billion, with diluted EPS of $1.11, up 25%. Improved operating leverage and lower provision expense (down from $1.5B to $1.3B) supported earnings growth.
Margins
Efficiency ratio improved 170 bps to 61%. Operating leverage was 290 bps, as revenue grew faster than expenses. ROTCE reached 16%, within the medium-term target range. Expense discipline remained evident with headcount down ~1,070 from year-end through attrition.
Balance Sheet
Average deposits grew 3% YoY to over $2 trillion, with growth in both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing. Average loans increased 9% YoY, driven by commercial and wealth management demand. CET1 ratio was 11.2%, well above regulatory requirements, after returning $7.2B in buybacks and $2B in dividends.
Key Risks
Management cited ongoing Middle East tensions, trade tariff policy, and elevated inflation as risks to the outlook. Commercial line utilization draws were normal course, not defensive. Global Markets NII could face headwinds if rates stop declining. Credit remains benign but is monitored closely.
Outlook
For 2026, BAC raised NII growth guidance to 6-8% YoY, reflecting better-than-expected Q1 results and a no-cut rate curve. The company expects more than 200 bps of positive operating leverage for the full year. The effective tax rate for 2026 is projected to be slightly above 20%.

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.

Data Sources & Limitations
Financial statements sourced from public filings. Prices updated daily. Forward assumptions are AI-generated. All monetary values in USD millions. Non-US ADR companies may have currency conversion inaccuracies. Models are point-in-time and do not update intra-quarter or account for M&A, macro shocks, or extraordinary items.
