Bank of America (BAC) intrinsic value and fair value
The calculator grows one of Bank of America's per-share figures (earnings, free cash flow, revenue, book value or dividends) for a few years, puts an exit multiple on it, and discounts the result back at the yearly return you want. The answers below use its starting inputs for BAC; this is analysis, not investment advice.
Frequently asked
What is Bank of America's (BAC) intrinsic value?+
With Intrinsiqq's starting inputs, Bank of America's fair value is about $42.35 a share, based on its book value per share. That assumes book value per share of $43.01 grows about 4.9% a year for 5 years, the stock then trades at 1.1 times book value, and you want a 10.0% yearly return. On its other figures: earnings $81.80, free cash flow $60.20, revenue $65.95, dividends $53.53. Every input can be changed on the page; the result is a model, not a forecast.
Is Bank of America overvalued?+
At $51.63, the price is 22% above that fair value of $42.35, and buying at today's price would return about 5.3% a year if those inputs hold. Whether that is cheap or dear depends on whether you believe the growth and the exit multiple, which is what the calculator lets you test. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
What growth does the Bank of America valuation assume?+
Book value per share grows about 4.9% a year to start, its own recent growth per share (three years for a company not yet profitable, five otherwise). The exit multiple starts at its own median over five years.
What is a good margin of safety for Bank of America?+
A margin of safety is the cushion you want below the fair value before buying, in case the inputs are wrong. The calculator uses 25%, which puts the buy-below price at $31.76. Less predictable businesses deserve a wider cushion, or a higher desired return.
