Don’t be fooled by bread and games

It’s happening right now…

A turning point that the former CEO of Google says is: 

The most important thing that’s going to happen in about 500 years – maybe 1,000 years of human society – and it’s happening in our lifetime.”

Yet very few are fully warning you of what’s coming.

Instead you’re kept distracted by the inane trivialities of “bread and circuses” while the very fabric of our lives erodes beneath our feet. 

As one former U.S. Treasury Secretary says:

“When your great-grandchild writes the history of this period, my guess is that stuff about Donald Trump and Xi will be the second or third story.”

The first story they write about? 

You and I have never seen anything like it before…

The dot-com collapse, global financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic… nothing we’ve seen in our lifetime holds a candle to what’s coming next. 

In short, I believe we are about to be plunged into a period of dramatic, almost unimaginable change

And you need to be ready, or risk being left behind. 

See my full warning here.

Bank of America's Rock-Bottom P/E and 25% Upside Potential

Submitted by Sam Quirke. Posted: 1/28/2026.

At a Glance

  • Bank of America trades at one of the lowest valuations among mega-cap stocks, even after a strong rally over the past year.
  • A recent pullback has provided some time to take profits without breaking the broader uptrend, improving the risk-reward setup.
  • Recently refreshed price targets point to solid upside potential heading into February. 

Financial giant Bank of America Corp (NYSE: BAC) did nearly everything right in 2025. The stock logged a powerful rally, hit a record high and finished the year in strong form. It even pushed to fresh all-time highs in early January, and the bulls appeared set to remain in control heading into 2026.

Then, things cooled. A pullback set in, gathering pace after the bank's earnings report two weeks ago and shaving roughly 10% off the share price. On the surface, that has not been a great start to the year. Zoom out, though, and the picture looks less dire: the broader uptrend remains intact, selling pressure is beginning to look tired, and the stock's valuation has reset to one of the lowest price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples among mega-cap stocks today.

A little-known stock could double as Elon Musk prepares to take Starlink public in what may be the biggest IPO in history. This company is a critical supplier to Starlink's fast-growing satellite network. One analyst believes it's positioned for significant upside as the IPO approaches.

With analysts broadly recommending Buy and many calling for at least 25% upside, Bank of America is quietly shaping up as one of the more interesting large-cap setups heading into February. Let's take a closer look.

An Attractive Valuation

With a current P/E below 14, Bank of America now has the lowest P/E among mega-cap stocks. For investors who view the recent selling as a pause rather than the start of a reversal, that presents a compelling buy-the-dip opportunity.

When a stock dips in the week before an earnings release and then continues to fall afterward, you would normally expect the report to have been weak. Instead, Bank of America delivered another solid quarter, topping expectations on both revenue and earnings. The company showed healthy operating leverage, and its provisions for credit losses came in well below forecasts.

That suggests January's pullback was driven more by broader market pressures than by any deterioration in Bank of America's fundamentals. Rising geopolitical tensions have weighed on equities in recent weeks, and BAC's shares appear to have been caught up in that shift to risk-off sentiment.

The absence of major follow-through this week further suggests the weakness was macro-driven. With the uptrend intact and selling pressure showing signs of exhaustion, the stock's lower P/E now offers an attractive risk/reward profile.

Analysts See Meaningful Upside From Here

Adding to the view that the market has been overly negative is the fact many analysts still rate Bank of America a Buy. Goldman Sachs recently reiterated its Buy rating and raised its price target to $67.

That call echoes similar moves from Morgan Stanley and TD Cowen, each of which reiterated Buy or equivalent ratings earlier this month with price targets around $64. Those targets imply more than 25% upside from current levels—not a bad setup for a stock with a rock-bottom valuation.

Risks Remain, But Are Largely Known

There are still headwinds as we head into February. One prominent risk is the proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates announced earlier this month. If implemented, it could pressure profitability across parts of the consumer banking business.

That said, the market has had time to digest the proposal, and the recent pullback likely priced in much of that uncertainty. Bank of America's diversified revenue base and scale also provide a buffer from potential rate caps that smaller peers may lack.

Still, bulls will need to remain active in the coming sessions to prove they are back in control. Last week the stock hit a deep low; while it has bounced since, it remains to be seen whether the $52 level will hold as a durable floor.

If that floor does hold, don't be surprised to see the stock trade into the upper $50s or the mid-$60s by the end of the quarter.
