[BAC] Bank of America Thesis 2026: NII Stability + Capital Return Acceleration vs. CRE Office Tail Risk
Bank of America FY2025 NII recovered to ~$59B (from FY2024 dip of $56B) as deposit beta dynamics stabilized; net income ~$30B; adj. EPS ~$3.70. Buybacks accelerated to ~$10-12B (vs $3B FY2024) as capital position improved (CET1 12.5%). Consumer Banking ($1.9T retail deposits at ~2.0-2.5% avg cost vs Fed funds ~5%) generates structural NII spread advantage that smaller banks cannot match. FY2026 thesis: NII sustainability through Fed cutting cycle (deposit beta ~25-35% means ~100bps Fed cut reduces NII ~4-7%); commercial real estate office (~$80B exposure) credit costs manageable within current 6-8% reserve coverage; capital return acceleration continues; key risks: aggressive Fed cuts (300+ bps) compress NII materially, CRE office credit deteriorates beyond reserves, recession-driven C&I credit costs.
