Market analysts are pointing to Bank of America’s attractive valuation as a key driver behind the rally. Even as it trades at its yearly peak, the company’s Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio stands at a modest 14.49.

The market is recognizing the deep value inherent in Bank of America’s stock, and investors are acting on it decisively.”

The company offers a solid dividend yield of 2.26%, distributing a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share. This commitment to returning capital reinforces its status as a blue-chip staple for long-term portfolios.
