Tomorrow's Trade Idea, Today
BAC’S MAKE-OR-BREAK MOMENT

A Long-Awaited Blueprint
Bank of America $BAC ( ▲ 1.86% ) will hold its first investor day in nearly 15 years tomorrow — and CEO Brian Moynihan needs it to land.
The event will outline how the nation’s second-largest bank plans to boost growth and returns after years of underperformance versus rivals like JPMorgan $JPM ( ▲ 1.35% ) and Morgan Stanley $MS ( ▲ 2.32% ).
Wells Fargo’s $WFC ( ▲ 1.67% ) Mike Mayo — long one of the industry’s most vocal analysts — expects 13% earnings growth next year and calls BofA “the forgotten Goliath.” His price target: $62, up nearly 16% from today’s close.
Cleaning Up Past Mistakes
BofA’s biggest drag has been self-inflicted. Its 2020-21 purchase of $500 billion in low-yield mortgage securities left $71 billion in paper losses. But now, those assets are finally rolling off, letting the bank reinvest roughly $10 billion per quarter at higher yields.
The bank’s third-quarter results already showed progress: earnings rose 31% to $1.06 per share, with net interest margins improving. BofA also returns roughly $20 billion a year to shareholders via buybacks and dividends, offering a total yield near 7%.
Reclaiming Its Edge
Moynihan’s challenge, according to Mayo, is to move from “responsible growth” to “more growth” while keeping credit quality high. That means reviving its wealth business, expanding credit cards, and modernizing Merrill Lynch.
At 12.5x forward earnings, Bank of America trades below every major peer. If tomorrow’s event hits the right notes, the market could finally remember why the Goliath mattered in the first place.

One quant trader spent decades studying human behavior in the markets before building an AI that learns like a trader — spotting patterns, testing reactions, and adapting in real time.
“What used to take me weeks to find the right setup,” he says, “this AI now finds in minutes — sometimes seconds.”
The result? A “Genetic AI” that thinks with discipline and trades with machine speed — turning chaos into clarity and data into measurable edges.
