The Bank of America Corporation is a financial institution headquartered in Charlotte, NC, USA. The Bank provides financial and risk management products and services, including banking, investing, and asset management. The company's customers are individuals and small-, medium-, and large-sized businesses.
The institution was founded in 1998 as the result of a merger of NationsBank Corporation and BankAmerica Corporation. The Bank didn’t hold an IPO, as it was founded through the merger. The company’s stock appeared in 1978 under North Carolina National Bank. In 1991, the bank acquired C&S/Sovran Corp. The new institution was renamed NationsBank, which was a predecessor of the Bank of America Corporation. Today, the company’s stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the #BAC ticker.
Bank of America pays a cash dividend, which has been stable for a decade. It’s a positive sign for investors. However, the stock price is highly volatile. Thus, CFD trading may be a more effective way of dealing with the company’s shares.
Bank of America's financials are stable enough. It has been demonstrating a stable growth of earnings and revenue for years. However, there have been periods when the company’s financial data weren’t that strong. For traders, it’s just a reason to be aware of the bank’s earnings reports and plan trades accordingly.
When trading stocks of any company, you should check the performance of the whole industry. This can be done through the company’s competitors. If they perform well, it means there are no problems in the industry in general. BofA’s top rivals are JPMorgan Chase & Co, Wells Fargo & Co, Citigroup Inc., and The Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
It’s vital to be aware of ongoing legal cases that can cause dramatic money loss. Bank of America’s lawsuits are mostly related to consumer protection, financials, employment, competition, and government contracting.

In efforts to streamline the Corporation's organizational structure and reduce complexity and costs, the Bank intends to continue to lower the number of its subsidiaries, including through intercompany mergers.
Currently, the Bank has several hundred departments. The company is focusing on reducing the impact of the COVID-19 felt in 2020-2021, which caused volatility in its stock prices and disruptions on global financial markets. As a response to the pandemic, it has implemented specific processes to fulfill its business continuity plans, as well as to protect its employees and support its customers.
Bank of America works in highly competitive conditions. Competition is based on distinct factors, including quality and range of products and services, price, credit limitations, and customer satisfaction. The ability to compete greatly depends on the Bank's ability to attract and retain qualified employees.
To improve the quality of the management of the company, its founder Amadeo Giannini concentrated attention on the middle class and chose average workers as a target group. A new approach was implemented into the banking system to achieve a wide audience coverage. A network was developed, with departments located conveniently, and working hours were extended to ensure that banking operations became more accessible to ordinary customers.
