What happened
Bank of America missed third-quarter profit estimates after reporting weakness in its trading business and disclosing a $1.2 billion charge tied to a regulatory penalty. This penalty resulted from the bank's failure to report over $5 billion in suspicious activity to the US government. The bank's sales and trading revenue fell 5% in the quarter, while net interest income jumped 8%.
