Bank of America: The Valuation Still Works

The Curious Analyst 5.34K Followers Follow Summary I'm rating Bank of America Strong Buy with a $78 price target, implying 26% upside from $62. BAC's earnings power is driven by rising NII, stronger fee businesses, operating leverage, and aggressive share repurchases. Q2 2026 saw revenue up 15% y/y, net income up 27%, and ROTCE at 17%, with every major segment growing. Despite a 13.41x FWD P/E, BAC's 18.11% FWD EPS growth and 0.86x PEG make it undervalued relative to sector peers. J.
