Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 81 days.
The thesis — published March 23, 2026
Bank of America looks attractive because its price is reasonable and its profit trends are steady. A recent proposal to relax Fed capital rules gives a near-term reason for big-bank stocks to do better. The stock pulled back in a controlled way and is now near a buying area; improving business trends and lower expectations reduce downside risk.
Primary drivers
- Proposal to ease capital rules helps big-bank outlook
- Lending, fees, and profits are showing stable improvement
- Shares trade cheaply versus many other large companies
- Stock is settling near support after a measured pullback
