What Happened?
Bank of America (BAC) stock is getting a boost after HSBC upgraded the stock from Hold to Buy. The firm set a price target of $55, implying about 16% upside from current levels.
The upgrade comes down to valuation.
- Bank of America stock has dropped roughly 12% so far this year, making it one of the worst-performing bank stocks in HSBC’s coverage. Only Wells Fargo has done worse.
- That kind of selloff has pushed the stock to a P/E ratio of around 12.7 — cheap relative to its growth outlook.
HSBC’s bullish case rests on a few key points.
- First, the bank has a conservative approach to credit risk, which should keep loan losses manageable.
- Second, Bank of America has a large book of fixed-rate assets that will gradually reprice higher as they mature.
- That process creates a natural tailwind for net interest income — the money a bank earns on loans minus what it pays on deposits — over the next few years.
The bank’s Q4 2025 results back this up.
- Net interest income came in at $15.9 billion, up 10% from a year ago.
- Full-year revenue topped $113 billion, growing 7%.
- Earnings per share for the year reached $3.81, up 19% from 2024.
- Management also returned over $30 billion to shareholders through buybacks and dividends — and has raised its dividend for 12 straight years.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Bank of America Stock
Bank of America stock has been caught in a broader selloff, hitting financial stocks this year.
But the underlying business looks solid.
- Credit quality is strong, with net charge-offs running at just 44 basis points — near historically low levels.
- Loan growth hit 8% last year, outpacing most peers.
Management expects net interest income to grow another 5% to 7% in 2026.
If that plays out alongside continued fee growth in wealth management and investment banking, Bank of America stock could have a meaningful re-rating ahead.
With HSBC now joining Jefferies and Truist in recommending the stock, analyst sentiment is clearly turning more positive on Bank of America stock.
