Bank of America misses profit estimates, takes $1.2 billion charge
Original: BofA misses profit estimates on trading weakness; books $1.2 billion charge
Bank of America reported quarterly profit below analyst expectations, hurt by weaker trading results, and booked a $1.2 billion charge. The shortfall from one of the largest US banks draws attention to how trading desks and one-off charges are weighing on Wall Street earnings, and investors will be watching whether peers report similar pressure.
Why now: A major US bank missing profit forecasts with a large charge is significant news for markets and bank earnings season.
