Bank of America posted stronger-than-expected first-quarter results, driven by robust trading activity and steady consumer demand, according to company disclosures.

The bank reported earnings of $1.11 per share and revenue of $30.43 billion, both exceeding analyst estimates. Earnings marked the firm’s highest level in nearly two decades.

Equities trading surged 30% to $2.83 billion as market volatility boosted activity. Investment banking revenue also rose 21%, reflecting stronger dealmaking. Net interest income climbed 9% to $15.9 billion, supported by higher loan and deposit balances.

CEO Brian Moynihan said consumer banking remains “healthy,” citing solid spending and stable asset quality. The bank’s loan loss ratio improved slightly, indicating lower defaults.

Profitability also strengthened, with return on tangible common equity reaching 16%. Consumer banking and wealth management divisions both recorded significant revenue growth.
