Bank of America (BAC) continues to position itself favorably within the banking sector, driven by deregulation and solid performance indicators. Experts have pointed out its impressive profit growth of 17% in the last quarter, indicating strong operational efficiency and guidance for continued upside potential. The bank benefits from improving net interest margins, a strengthening economy, and a favorable yield curve, despite facing some concerns regarding private debt and market fluctuations. With analysts projecting valuations that suggest potential upside, it remains a recommended buy on dips, particularly due to its diverse business model and robust consumer banking performance.

Consensus

Buy

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

Citi, C

BUY

Thinks this will survive. Trading at 70% of book value. Trading at 7X next year's estimated earnings and you will make money over the next several years.

BUY

North American financials do need to start showing some leadership. Probably a sector that would turn as fast or faster than any other area. Has been a tremendous selloff in the last few weeks, which has been too far and too fast. If you believe the US economy will rebound and go stable, US financials are good area.

WAIT

(Market Call Minute) You could buy it and do well but he would wait.

DON'T BUY

Very concerned with what the US government will or will not do with new banking regulations. Earnings momentum seems pretty negative. Lofty PE of 17X earnings. Would be careful.

SELL

New CEO is out working the government, which is what is needed. This company is entirely based on what you think US government policy is going to be. .25% dividend. Canadian banks are better. If you own, consider taking profits.

HOLD

US financial stocks are starting to act a little bit better. US administration is going to be less punitive than it looked like they would be. Thinks their acquisitions, particularly Merrill Lynch, will work out relatively well for them.

BUY

US banking sector faces some challenges with increasing regulatory scrutiny, capital requirements and less favourable trading environment. This is probably not a bad one to own. Their purchase of Merrill Lynch was good giving them a lot more earning power. Trading at very low multiples. New CEO has to prove himself.

BUY

Has 10% of the deposits in the US. Merrill Lynch will be a great deal for them in the longer term. Could probably make $4-$6 in the next 5 years.

COMMENT

At some point this will be an excellent buy. From a normalized earnings standpoint it can probably earn $3 a share. If and when it does, it will trade a lot higher than where it is now.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like getting into the US banks. Have already had a fair recovery from their extreme lows and there are still problems in the US financial pipeline.

TOP PICK

Been in and out of this one during the whole nightmare and has done well. Thinks it is now truly the Bank of America. Well capitalized. Losses are slowing down and mitigating.

DON'T BUY

Still some pretty significant risks in the US financial system with exposure to the housing market.

SELL

This is a long-term hold and maybe a short-term sell. Not enamored of most US banks. Still a lot of issues that they face in terms of default risks/credit risks.

DON'T BUY

Now have a new CEO. Will probably return to profit next year. The stock is still highly levered to the consumer and there is still 10% unemployment in the US. Would prefer investment banks instead.

TOP PICK

Has potential to generate a lot of earnings, probably $4-$5 a share. Using a simple multiple of 10X earnings gives you a $40-$50 stock in the next 4 to 5 years. Acquisitions they made were good.
