Bank of America was founded in 1904, and should produce about $89 billion in revenue this year. Bank of America is one of the largest financial stocks in the world.

Revenue was up more than 11% year-over-year to $24.53 billion, which also beat estimates by $360 million.

Net interest income was up $3.3 billion, or 29%, to $14.7 billion. This was driven by higher interest rates and solid loan growth. Net yield on earning assets was 2.22%, up from 1.67% a year ago on higher prevailing market rates. Noninterest income was down $799 million to $9.9 billion. The 8% decline was driven by reductions in fees from investment banking and asset management, as well as lower service charges. These more than offset gains from higher trading and sales revenue.

Provisions for credit losses were $1.1 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion from the net release seen in the year-ago period. Net charge-offs were $689 million.

#4: American Express Company (AXP)

Dividend Yield: 1.2%
Percent of Warren Buffett’s Portfolio: 8.3%

American Express is one of Berkshire’s longest-held stocks. American Express is a credit card company that operates the following business units: US Card Services, International Consumer and Network Services, Global Commercial Services, and Global Merchant Services. American Express was founded in 1850.

American Express reported its fourth quarter earnings results on January 27. The company generated revenues of $14.2 billion during the quarter, which was 17% more than during the previous year’s quarter. The revenue increase was based on a recovery for American Express’ business compared to the previous year’s quarter, where the pandemic still had a negative impact on card holder spending. Revenues were up sequentially, but they missed estimates by $50 million.

American Express was able to generate earnings-per-share to $2.07 during the fourth quarter on a GAAP basis, which was down 5% year over year. American Express’ earnings-per-share missed the analyst consensus, as analysts had forecast net profits of just $2.33 per share.

American Express forecasts that revenues will continue to grow in the current year, currently forecasting full-year revenue growth of around 16%. 2022 was slightly weaker than 2021 due to not benefiting from a reserve release.

According to management’s guidance, 2023 will be a new record year, with earnings-per-share being forecast at $11.00 to $11.40.

Kraft-Heinz generated earnings-per-share of $0.63 during the third quarter, which easily beat the consensus estimate. Earnings-per-share were down 3% versus the previous year’s quarter, being impacted by a difficult comparison and adverse currency rate movements.

#7: Occidental Petroleum (OXY)

Dividend Yield: 0.6%
Percent of Warren Buffett’s Portfolio: 3.9%

Occidental Petroleum is an international oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in the U.S., the Middle East, and Latin America. It has a market capitalization of $60 billion. While the company also has a midstream and a chemical segment, it is much more sensitive to the price of oil than the integrated oil majors.

In early November, Occidental reported (11/8/22) financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Its average realized price of oil dipped 12% vs. blowout levels in the second quarter while the chemical segment saw its margins moderate. As a result, earnings-per-share decreased -23% sequentially, from $3.16 to $2.44. Due to its high debt load, Occidental is extremely sensitive to oil and gas prices and thus it is one of the greatest beneficiaries in its sector from the multi-year high prices of oil and gas, which have resulted from the sanctions of western countries on Russia.

Occidental has been reducing its debt pile at a fast pace thanks to its record free cash flows. This seems highly attractive to Warren Buffett. Berkshire Hathaway has acquired a 28% stake in Occidental and has requested approval to buy up to 50% of the company.

Moody’s reported fourth quarter earnings on January 31st, 2023, with results coming in better than expected on both the top and bottom lines. Adjusted earnings-per-share came to $1.60, which was 13 cents better than expected. The result was down sharply from $2.33 in the year-ago period. Revenue was down 16.2% year-over-year to $1.29 billion, but was fractionally ahead of estimates. Revenue was down from $1.54 billion, and foreign exchange translation adversely impacted revenue by 3%.

Moody’s Investors Services revenue was $576 million, down 34% year-over-year. Analytics revenue was up 7% to $714 million. Adjusted operating margin was 37.0% of revenue, down from 38.2% of revenue, which reflects negative operating leverage from lower revenue.

The company said 2023 free cash flow would be $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion, and that it is looking to buy back $250 million of its shares this year. The company guided for adjusted earnings-per-share of $9.00 to $9.50 for this year.

Dividend Yield: 3.3%
Percent of Warren Buffett’s Portfolio: 1.0%

HP Inc. has centered its business activities around two main segments: its product portfolio of printers, and its range of so-called personal systems, which includes computers and mobile devices.

HP reported its fourth quarter (fiscal 2022) results in December. The company reported revenue of $14.8 billion for the quarter, which beat the analyst consensus estimate, and which was down 11% from the previous year’s quarter. Unlike during previous quarters, HP did not benefit from a demand recovery for tech equipment from consumers and corporations any longer, and an economic slowdown hurt consumer sentiment and thus spending.

Non-GAAP earnings-per-share totaled $0.85 during the fourth quarter, which beat the analyst consensus estimate. Earnings-per-share came in at the middle of management’s previous guidance range. The company currently forecasts earnings-per-share in a range of $0.70 to $0.80 for the first quarter, which would mean a further deceleration versus the results of the last couple of quarters.

Citi reported fourth quarter and full-year earnings on January 13th, 2023, and results were somewhat mixed. Adjusted earnings-per-share came to $1.10, which was 10 cents light of estimates. Revenue was up almost 6% year-over-year to $18 billion, which fractionally beat estimates.

The company noted the excluding divestitures, revenue would have risen 5% as the impacts of higher interest rates and strong loan growth in the US were offset by declines in investment banking, and global wealth management.

Cost of credit was $1.8 billion, which was a sharp deterioration from the $0.5 billion credit in the year-ago period. This reflected a net build in the allowance for credit losses for loans and unfunded commitments, as well as deterioration of macroeconomic assumptions.

Book value ended the quarter at $94.06 per share, while tangible book value was $81.65. These were up 2% and 3%, respectively, year-over-year. They were driven by net income, lower shares outstanding, and payment of common stock dividends.
