General Motors is set to report third-quarter 2026 results on Tuesday, with analysts expecting adjusted earnings per share of $3.63 and revenue of $48.70 billion. While revenue is projected to remain flat compared to the prior year, profit is expected to rise by approximately 30%.

Bank of America Q3 Profit Plunges 17% on AML Fine and Weak Trading

Bank of America reported a 17% drop in third-quarter profit to $6.93 billion, driven by a $1.2 billion anti-money-laundering penalty and declines in deals and trading revenue. Excluding the fine, earnings per share would have been $1.08, but the reported figure was 91 cents. Revenue came in at $30.0 billion, slightly below estimates. The penalty, the third-largest in U.S. Treasury history, stems from the bank’s failure to report over $5 billion in suspicious transactions. CEO Brian Moynihan faces scrutiny over risk controls, while the broader banking sector reported mixed results.

LVMH reported €57.1 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2026, with organic growth of 2%.

Accenture's Q3 2026: Growth in AI-led services offsets Middle East headwinds

Accenture reported Q3 2026 revenue of $18.7B, up 6% in USD (3% local currency), with a 17% operating margin and EPS of $3.80, up 9%. Free cash flow was $3.6B; share repurchases totaled $1.2B and the dividend rose to $1.63 per share. New bookings were $19.3B, down 2% USD; Consulting revenue rose ~4% and Managed Services ~8%. Growth was driven by AI-related demand and strategic OT cybersecurity acquisitions (Dragos), plus mid-market expansion and the new Accenture Edge. A Middle East conflict reduced about $100M of consulting work, and some large managed‑services deals have been delayed into FY27. Macro uncertainty and longer EMEA decision cycles pose headwinds, but management remains confident in margin and EPS expansion and TAM growth from AI and security offerings, as well as ongoing shareholder returns.
