Sign InReflecting robust momentum in the U.S. banking sector, RBC Capital has raised its price target for Bank of America (BAC) to $65.00. This revision follows a strong second-quarter performance where the bank reported earnings of $1.21 per share, surpassing the $1.13 analyst consensus. Net interest income climbed to $16.20 billion, driving a 27% year-over-year surge in total net income to $9.10 billion.
The bullish outlook for BAC comes as major peers show steady valuations; per market data, JPMorgan (JPM) closed at $342.89, while Wells Fargo (WFC) stood at $87.7 (close July 13, 2026). Industry analysts note that the bank's 17% return on average tangible common equity highlights superior operational efficiency compared to historical averages, especially as net interest margins remain a primary driver of profitability across the sector.
Bank of America (BAC) shares were priced at $60.62 at the close of July 14, 2026, maintaining a position above the recent daily low of $58.67. Investors are now looking toward the upcoming Monetary Policy Report on July 10, 2026, as a key catalyst that could influence interest rate expectations and the broader valuation of large-cap financial institutions.
