Evercore Partners analyst Andrew Marquardt reiterated his Overweight rating on Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) and raised his price target from $15 to $16 following a "less noisy" Q2 and a more positive outlook.
He comments, "Moving our ests modestly lower post 2Q13 results as we now account for part of legal expenses (ex LAS) in core run rate (~$250m/qtr), though this is partly offset by better credit and NII, while core expenses remain on track. Our '13 EPS est goes to $0.99 (from $1.04), '14 to $1.31 (from $1.34) and introducing '15 est of $1.52. PT goes to $16 (from $15) and implies 10.5x our new '15 EPS est and 1.2x 'end of '13 est'd TBV/shr. Shares attractive at 1.1x TBV and 8.1x norm EPS."
