What would change the picture for BAC

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them represents a prediction.

• The next earnings report arrives on Jan. 15, 2027, 82 days away. Bank OF America Corp beat estimates in 3 of the last 4 quarters, averaging a surprise of +3.2%. A miss would break that pattern.
• Investors often monitor open-market purchases by insiders at Bank OF America Corp. None has occurred in 90 days, though Form 4 filings would display any trade within two business days.
• Watch these key price levels. A close above $64.48 would mark a new 52-week high, standing 27.5% above the latest close of $50.56. A close below $46.24 would set a new 52-week low, falling 8.5% below it.
• Revenue rose 9.7% year over year in the quarter ending Jun 2026, reflecting a steady trend. At a P/E of 11.6, a slowdown would matter more than at a lower multiple.
• Dilution risk is currently low. However, a new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would increase it.

Key terms on this page

Price-to-sales

Market value divided by the last 12 months of revenue. Useful for companies with little or no profit, but it ignores margins.

Form 4

Open-market trade

A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.

Form 13F

A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.
