To The Moon

$Bank of America(BAC)$ received an upgrade from Seaport Research Partners, which raised its rating from "Neutral" to "Buy" and set a price target of $48.

The bank's EPS growth estimates have improved, reflecting better net interest income and asset sensitivity. From the technical, we are also seeing uptrend signal posted.

This is confirmed with a nice trading above the 50-day MA period, this is encouraging, and we should be seeing another nice upside move.

BAC Has More Than 20% YTD Growth

Considering why analyst are upgrading BAC, we could see that BAC has managed to maintain a 23.17% growth year-to-date, this is going to rise with expectation of a better EPS when BAC report their quarterly earnings on 16 July 2024 pre-market.

There should be some focus on their earnings from interest income, but with rate cut discussion and decision still on-going, we might see BAC benefiting from it in the upcoming quarterly earnings.
