Bank of America hits $21.10 a share
Just wait until Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) cuts their dividend, then how low will shares get?
Barron's lowered their outlook on BAC last week. They now expect BofA's 2008 and 2009 earnings-per-share estimates to $2.20/$3.60 (from $2.70/4.00), largely reflecting continued uncertainty on the credit front and a more-conservative view of structured products/capital markets near term. Our second-quarter 2008 EPS estimate falls to 55 cents from 79 cents.
Barron's price target droped to $25 (versus $34), which is approximately 2.0 times estimated 2009 tangible book value.
The buzz continues about "if" BofA cuts their dividend but its turning into more of a "when" consensus.
