Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on March 20, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 59% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 20, 2025
Bank of America offers steadier exposure to financial services and shows a modest short-term upward setup, but timing is uncertain because a short-term momentum measure is high. Recent news cited is mostly analyst notes and unrelated stories, so there is no clear company-specific trigger. Best to buy small on mild dips and re-evaluate if bank-focused news appears.
Primary drivers
- Positive short-term trend signals suggesting slow upward movement
- Reduces risk by balancing away from semiconductor-heavy holdings
- Large company trading makes short-term swings more manageable
- Current news is not tied to BAC operations, so conviction is lower
How it played out
BAC: target stayed out of reach
Lyra published BAC on 2025-12-20 at $55.27 with 7% expected growth and a $59.14 target. The thesis pointed to positive short-term trend signals, slower upward movement, steadier large-company trading, and diversification away from semiconductor-heavy holdings. It also said conviction was lower because the cited news was not tied to BAC operations.
Inside the window, BAC rose to $57.55 on 2026-01-05, a 4.1% peak gain. It never reached $59.14. By 2026-03-20, it ended at $47.16. The thesis partially played out early, but the target was missed and the final price was lower than publication.
What happened during the window
