In the same quarter last year, Bank of America beat on the top and bottom lines, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.36 (versus $0.29 expected) on revenue of $21.4 billion ($21.6 billion expected).
Last quarter, Bank of America reported earnings per share of $0.28 per share ($0.26 expected) on revenue of $19.8 billion.

Investment-banking revenue is down 36% across the Street, according to preliminary Q1 data from Dealogic - its lowest level since 2009. More on that here.
JPMorgan on Wednesday reported first-quarter earnings that beat on the top and bottom lines. Wells Fargo will report fourth-quarter earnings at 8 a.m. Thursday.
