Bank of America (ISIN US0605051046) entered a lower target range after Autonomous Research cut its view from USD 57.00 to USD 55.00 on October 15, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The new target stands 8.85 percent above the USD 50.53 NYSE price cited on October 27, 2026. At Lang & Schwarz, the stock was trading at EUR 45.43 on October 27, 2026 at 3:38 p.m. CEST.
Third-quarter results set the frame
Bank of America reported third-quarter net income of USD 6.9 billion and diluted earnings per share of USD 0.91 on October 14, 2026. Revenue reached USD 30.0 billion, up 3 percent from the year-ago quarter, while net interest income rose 8 percent to USD 16.4 billion. The figures came with a USD 1.2 billion regulatory settlement charge that reduced earnings by USD 0.17 per share, according to the company's filing.
The underlying comparison is more favorable than the reported result. Adjusted net income reached USD 8.1 billion and adjusted earnings per share were USD 1.08 in the third quarter, compared with reported net income of USD 6.9 billion and reported earnings per share of USD 0.91. Bank of America also reported that wealth management revenue rose 13 percent to USD 7.1 billion.
Price position and valuation
On the NYSE, Bank of America was trading at USD 50.53 on October 27, 2026 at 10:47 a.m. ET. Its 52-week range was USD 46.12 to USD 65.23, placing the price USD 4.41 above the low and USD 14.70 below the high. Market capitalization stood at USD 349.8 billion, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.06.
Dividend date comes next
MarketScreener lists December 4, 2026 as the next ex-dividend date and shows a dividend of USD 0.32. The same page lists a 25-analyst consensus target of USD 62.95, but the dated Autonomous Research target of USD 55.00 is the more immediate individual estimate in this report.
What the target means
The target revision places the focus on valuation rather than on the reported headline profit. Net interest income increased USD 1.2 billion from the third quarter of 2025 to the third quarter of 2026, while the regulatory charge created a clear gap between GAAP and adjusted results. For investors, the next test is whether revenue growth and higher interest income can offset weaker trading and investment banking activity.
