What this means
- The methods differ by about 56%, from $42 to $66. That is normal: cash-flow methods and peer multiples see different things. Use the range, not a single number.
- The base case, $58, is the median of the 4 methods with data. It assumes BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/’s current margins, cash generation and share count persist; it does not price in a new product cycle, a recession or a buyback surge.
- The number moves when the filings move. The next 10-Q replaces the oldest quarter in the trailing-twelve-month EPS and cash-flow inputs; the last one (Q2 FY2026) was filed 2026-07-31. The price changes every day; the fair value only changes with the filings.
