BofA Back at $10.00, Still Substantial Discount To Book Value (BAC, BRK-B)

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) made it back above $10.00 today for the first time since August 21 of 2011.  The stock hit a high of $10.10 and the current share price is floating back and forth from $9.99 to $10.00 at the moment.

We recently asked if this stock is now getting overvalued. What is interesting is that this is now almost 10% higher than the $9.08 consensus price target from Thomson Reuters.  It also is starting to make Warren Buffett look like he made a very profitable investment if you include his warrants in the $5 billion investment made by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-B) recently.  BofA has traded in a 52-week range of $4.92 to $14.22.

At the end of the last quarterly earnings report, BofA’s stated book value was $20.09 per share and the tangible book value was now up to $12.95.

There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
