Billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has unloaded more Bank of America stock as it continues to trim stake in the U.S. banking giant, according to a regulatory filing.
Bank of America reported strong 3Q24 results, driven by higher investment banking fees and trading revenues, despite increased loan losses affecting its credit profile. The bank's net interest income grew QoQ, with a positive outlook for mortgage and auto loans, though YoY growth was impacted by higher deposit costs. Technically, the stock is bullish, breaking above key moving averages, and remains undervalued compared to peers, suggesting potential for further upside.
Bank of America was once Berkshire Hathaway's second-largest position, but Buffett has sold about 25% of it so far.

A positive momentum has been noticed in the field of bank earnings. Related stocks and ETFs should gain in the near term.
Bank of America released its third quarter earnings Yesterday. The release beat expectations on revenue as well as on earnings per share. Shortly after the release came out, I sold 33% of my shares.
Earnings season has kicked off, and as usual, the banking and finance sector pushes the envelope first to show investors where the next market trend might be headed. Considering that financial services and markets make up a large portion of the United States economy, investors need to be able to understand what banking earnings mean.
Bank of America reported Q3 earnings with a slight stock increase of 0.55%, surpassing most analyst estimates. The key highlight is that net interest income started seeing a sequential recovery of 2%, despite an EPS decline. After Q3 earnings, the price-to-tangible book valuation became cheaper, so I reiterated my "buy rating" on the stock.
Interest rate cuts might have been on the mind of the Wall St. analysts gathered for the Bank of America third-quarter earnings call today (Oct. 15), but digital transformation and healthy consumer spending turned out to be the stars of the show.
