Breaking news. Bank of America just reporting second quarter earnings. The bank posted adjusted earnings per share of of 89 cents per share, higher than analyst expectations of 85 cents per share, and that and then revenue coming in at 26 and a half billion dollars. That's roughly in line with estimates. You can see on your screen now, stock rising in reaction up about two almost 2% at one point. Now up a little bit over 1%. I do want to highlight a quote from Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan. He had some commentaries on the US consumer, saying quote, consumers remain resilient with healthy spending and asset quality, and commercial borrower utilizations rates rose. So a healthy consumer is what Bank of America is seeing here, and I want to get you a couple other key numbers within this release. So net interest income for the second quarter from Bank of America coming in at 14.67 billion. That was above estimates for 14.6 billion. So slightly above estimates there. A key metric, though, that seems to maybe be driving this stock higher right now, I want to look at trading revenue. Trading revenue in the second quarter for BofA coming in at 5.38 billion. The street was looking for 4.94 billion, so a pretty big beat on trading revenue there. Now remember, that was a story we had been following yesterday as well. Uh, city also going up higher yesterday on trading revenue, of course, this follows a relatively volatile market quarter for the second quarter in tariff reactions. So you're seeing the banks sort of benefiting from some of that. We'll be watching how that impacted Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley later on today. And then I also want to take a look at different sides of this stock move you're seeing right now. So Bank of America up almost 2% right now, but you're looking at that one-year chart stock. It only been up 10%. You flip over to JP Morgan's estimates from yet or earnings from yesterday, stock didn't really move well on relatively strong earnings, but stock had been up over 40% over the past year. So perhaps you're seeing a little bit of a difference there. A final number I want to bring you from BofA, looking at the second quarter, investment banking revenue coming in at 1.43 billion. That was above estimates slightly, and that was an interesting metric. Yeah, above estimates for 1.27 billion. Yesterday, remember, JP Morgan investment banking had been a key metric for them. Investment banking had come in higher than expected. We've been watching sort of as we delve into these releases, and certainly you'll be able to see this in Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs later this morning, how the pickup in the M&A market, pickup in the IPO market, might be impacting deal making and that part of the business. Overall, relatively solid report it seems from Bank of America. Market seems to be enjoying this one. Again, stock up almost 2%. We'll be keeping a close eye on that earnings call later this morning, and we'll be giving you more updates on the financial sector throughout the morning on our morning brief show later.

Railroad operator CSX beats quarterly profit estimates on higher volumes
(Reuters) -CSX reported second-quarter profit above analysts' estimates on Wednesday, driven by improving intermodal volumes. Intermodal shipping, which involves two or more means of transportation for goods and accounted for 14% of its overall revenue in 2024, saw a 2% rise in volume during the quarter. CSX chief executive Joe Hinrichs said on Wednesday that while uncertainty continues to impact select industrial markets, the company remained focused on completing two major infrastructure projects that will "strengthen our position to execute on many profitable growth opportunities ahead." Shares of the Jacksonville, Florida-based company rose 2% in extended trading. The railroad operator is reportedly in discussions to appoint financial advisers as it explores strategic options amid growing speculation of a potential merger with its West Coast peer BNSF Railway, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Meanwhile, according to reports, larger rival Union Pacific is exploring a potential acquisition of Norfolk Southern, a move that could create a $200 billion coast-to-coast rail network and significantly reshape the U.S. freight industry. CSX maintains a fleet of more than 3,500 locomotives and about 51,000 freight cars, according to its website. However, any merger would be subject to approval from the Surface Transportation Board, a regulatory body that oversees railroads. On an adjusted basis, it reported a profit of 44 cents per share, above the analysts' average estimate of 42 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. The company reported revenue of $3.57 billion in the quarter ended June 30, missing estimates of $3.58 billion. The company's operating margin was 35.9% for the quarter, down by 320 basis points from last year.
