Summary
Bank of America Corporation (BAC) reported its second-quarter 2016 financial results, showing a decrease in net income compared to the prior year's second quarter. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $3.87 billion, down from $4.80 billion in the second quarter of 2015, resulting in diluted earnings per common share of $0.36, a decrease from $0.43 in the prior year. The company's total revenue also declined year-over-year, primarily impacted by lower net interest income and noninterest income, alongside higher provision for credit losses, although this was partially offset by a reduction in noninterest expense. The decline in net interest income was significantly influenced by negative market-related adjustments on debt securities. Despite the revenue pressures, the corporation maintained a strong capital position, with Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.5% at June 30, 2016. Additionally, the company received Federal Reserve non-objection to its 2016 CCAR capital plan, which includes a $5 billion common stock repurchase authorization and a dividend increase to $0.075 per share.
