Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan has expressed optimism about the company's financial outlook, highlighting favorable regulatory conditions under the Trump administration. During a recent Goldman Sachs conference, Moynihan noted that U.S. consumers are in good shape, with a full mergers and acquisitions pipeline and an improving IPO market. He projected the bank's fourth-quarter net interest income (NII) to be approximately $14.3 billion, with expectations for record trading results. Additionally, he indicated that wealth management fees are expected to rise by 20% year-over-year, while investment banking fees could increase by 25%. Moynihan also mentioned that loan growth is running at 4-4.5%, led by commercial lending. This positive sentiment among CEOs is echoed in a Business Roundtable study, which found that many executives are welcoming the president-elect's economic announcements.
