Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 70 days.
The thesis — published August 19, 2025
BAC looks set for an upswing. The price trend is turning up, and the recent average price is rising, which often means buyers are gaining control. Investor mood is positive. News about Berkshire leadership could cause short-term noise, but many bank stocks are firm and calmer interest rates help. We prefer buying in steps and adding only if the stock makes new price highs, aiming for a move in the next 0-3 months toward past price peaks.
Primary drivers
- Price trend improving and the recent average price is moving higher
- Optimism is high even though the company's basic numbers remain modest
- Interest rates look steadier and expected loan losses seem manageable
- News on Berkshire leadership changes could cause bumps in the share price
