RF Industries' 15-minute chart has exhibited a narrowing of Bollinger Bands and a bearish Marubozu candlestick pattern at 10/17/2025 14:45. This suggests a decrease in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations, indicating that sellers are currently in control of the market. As a result, it is likely that bearish momentum will continue.

Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) reported a robust 21% profit increase in Q3 2025, with earnings per share rising to $1.88. The bank's total client assets under custody surged to $57.8 trillion, driven by market gains and inflows. Net income rose to $1.34 billion, and earnings per share reached $1.88, up 25% from the previous year. Total revenue hit a record $5.1 billion, a 9% increase from the previous year, with both Securities Services and Market and Wealth Services contributing to the growth, according to Cryptopolitan.

Chief Executive Officer Robin Vince attributed the strong performance to broad-based growth across platforms and the company's two core transformation programs. BNY's new commercial model and integration of artificial intelligence, particularly the latest version of its AI platform Eliza, were highlighted as key drivers of growth in the Cryptopolitan article.

Total fee revenue reached $3.64 billion, up 7%, driven by stronger client flows, higher market values, and a weaker U.S. dollar that benefited international operations. Net interest income surged by 18% to $1.24 billion, supported by the reinvestment of maturing securities into higher-yield assets and balance sheet growth. The bank reported a $7 million benefit from credit losses, driven by a more favorable macroeconomic outlook. Noninterest expense increased 4% to $3.24 billion, mainly from staff merit raises, investment spending, and a weaker dollar. These expenses were partly offset by efficiency savings, and the effective tax rate for the quarter was 21.3%, the article also noted.

BNY's average deposits reached $299 billion, up 5% year-over-year, while capital levels remained strong. The Tier 1 leverage ratio held at 6.1%, and the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio stood at 11.7%, compared to 11.9% a year ago. The bank returned $1.2 billion to shareholders during the quarter, including $381 million in dividends and $849 million in share repurchases, with a 92% payout ratio year-to-date, according to the same report.

However, the earnings report also acknowledged new legal pressure. A woman identified as Jane Doe filed a lawsuit against BNY and Bank of America, alleging they knowingly provided financial services that enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. Robin Vince stated that the suit has no merit and that BNY will contest it vigorously, the Cryptopolitan coverage added.
