Bank of America stock (BAC) holds near 52-week high after accounting change trims key capital ratio

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:14 EST — Market closed Bank of America Corp said it changed accounting methods for certain tax-related equity investments, an adjustment that would have cut its common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio — a key measure of bank capital — by 13 basis points as of Sept. 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis.
