Bank of America topped analyst estimates for third-quarter profit and revenue on better-than-expected trading results. Here's what the company reported:Earnings: 81 cents vs. 77 cents LSEG estimateRevenue: $25.49 billion vs. $25.3 billion estimateThe bank said Tuesday that net income fell 12% from a year earlier to $6.9 billion, or 81 cents a share. Revenue rose less than 1% to $25.49 billion as a rise in trading revenue and asset management and investment banking fees offset a decline in net interest income. That's a key question after the lender signaled in July that a rebound in net interest income was coming in the second half of this year. Bank of America has seen its haul from net interest income get compressed as the Federal Reserve boosted rates over the past two years.

A soft landing occurs when economic growth slows just enough to bring down inflation below the Federal Reserve's 2% target without tipping the economy into a recession. She thinks the economy is experiencing a no-landing scenario as it continues to expand without slowing down. "So far, clearly bank earnings are coming in better than expected, both top line and bottom line. "The other thing that that's showing [is] that our call for the 'no landing' is actually playing out." It's not just bank earnings that point to solid economic growth.

☆ Financial stocks are still being woefully underappreciated by investors, Morgan Stanley says

Positioning in financial stocks is light relative to other sectors, Morgan Stanley says. AdvertisementInvestors are lingering in defensive trades that don't take advantage of the economy's strength, Morgan Stanley said, highlighting opportunities in underinvested sectors. The firm — which just last week upgraded cyclical stocks to "overweight" relative to defensives — described the financials group as particularly attractive. Morgan Stanley said net exposure to financials was in the bottom 15th percentile of a historical data series that goes back to 2010. Morgan Stanley noted that this weakness lowered earnings-season expectations for investors, making it easier for major lenders to outperform forecasts.
