Bank of America Corporation reported strong headline figures for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded net income of $7.6 billion, which translates to earnings of $0.98 per diluted share. This captures how much profit the bank generated for common shareholders during the final three months of the year.
For the full year 2025, Bank of America reported net income of $30.5 billion, or $3.81 per diluted share, showing the scale of its annual profitability. The company is sharing more detail through a press release, an investor presentation, and supplemental information, and plans to discuss these results on an investor conference call and webcast.
Bank of America has changed how it accounts for certain tax-related equity investments in affordable housing and wind and solar renewable energy projects. Affordable housing and eligible wind investments are moving from the equity method to the proportional amortization method, which shifts related costs from noninterest income to income tax expense. For solar investments, investment tax credits and related expenses will now be recognized over the productive life of the facilities, with tax credits reported in noninterest income against the related expense.
The changes mainly reclassify amounts between income statement lines and have an insignificant impact on net income annually. Applied retrospectively, retained earnings as of September 30, 2025 decreased by $1.7 billion, and the cumulative impact would have reduced Common equity tier 1 capital by an estimated $2.1 billion, lowering the Common equity tier 1 ratio by 13 basis points. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 would have been 20.0% instead of 10.4%.
