I agree most with @D1ane ’s view that headline profits alone do not tell the whole story. For me, credit quality, loan-loss provisions, funding costs, and net interest margins all matter when evaluating whether a bank can sustain its earnings.

I also find @nerdbull1669 ’s point about tangible book value important, especially when Treasury yields remain elevated. A bank may report solid profits, but hidden balance-sheet pressure and unrealised losses can still affect its long-term valuation.

As for Berkshire trimming $Bank of America(BAC)$ , I would treat it as a signal worth monitoring rather than an automatic reason to sell. I prefer to look at the bank’s fundamentals, valuation, and earnings outlook before making a decision. Ultimately, I want to invest in banks that can deliver sustainable earnings through different interest-rate environments, not just benefit from temporarily favourable conditions.

    Capital ratios probably deserve equal weight here. In rate volatility, management risk appetite can matter just as much as NIM or tangible book.
