Bank of America shares fell over 4% premarket after reporting a $1.2 billion penalty for alleged violations of anti-money laundering laws, which significantly impacted third-quarter earnings by reducing income per share by 17 cents. In contrast, Morgan Stanley exceeded expectations with strong equities trading revenue. Anthropic is set to privately disclose its Q3 financials in San Francisco ahead of a potential IPO.
