Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) price target of $8.50.
Analyst, Glenn Schorr, said, "BAC showed strong progress on the capital front (Basel 3 T1C basically in line with peers), managed expenses well (with more to come), and saw credit continue to improve (provision expense was its lowest level since 1Q07, with a $1.85bn reserve release). Unfortunately, core earnings power remained sluggish (we estimate core PPNR of around $6bn and core EPS of $0.13) and the low rate backdrop continues to pressure net interest revenue (adjusted NIM -10bp q/q). BAC reported an estimated 8.1% Basel 3 T1C ratio, and while there was some confusion around whether BAC’s ratio is comparable to what peers reported earlier this week, we think BAC, Citi (NYSE: C), Goldman (NYSE: GS), and JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) are all clustered around the 7.9% range on a fully–loaded basis. FY12 EPS from $0.57 to $0.60."
