Why It Matters

Bank of America's net interest income increased by 4% year-over-year to $14.4 billion, largely due to higher interest rates and robust loan growth. Higher interest rates can lead to increased profitability for banks, as they can charge higher interest on loans relative to what they pay on deposits.

Robust loan growth also indicates that the bank is actively engaged in lending, which is a primary source of income. Investors often take note of interest rate trends and their impact on banks' profitability.

According to data from Benzinga Pro, BAC has a 52-week high of $38.60 and a 52-week low of $25.46.
