Stockchase Editor: Michael O'Reilly When Warren Buffet is a buyer, the market takes notice. He just purchased another $1.2 billion worth of shares at an average of around $24 over the past week. For arguably the strongest major US bank, BAC pays a good dividend that will certainly be sustainable, given only a 24% payout ratio. Analysts see over 15% upside in the share price. Knowing how the Oracle of Omaha invests, he might be targeting a return to even more lofty targets, near $36 -- the level it traded pre-pandemic. We also like the technical up trend of higher lows and would hold this unless it takes out key support around $22.50. Yield 2.85% (Analysts’ price target is $28.57)
