Valuing Bank of America Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Bank of America Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Bank of America Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Bank of America Corporation shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Bank of America Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.015. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Bank of America Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 34.53
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Bank of America Corporation's overall score of 34.53 (as at 12/31/2018) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 55th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Bank of America Corporation is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 7.74/100
Bank of America Corporation's environmental score of 7.74 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Bank of America Corporation is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 23.11/100
Bank of America Corporation's social score of 23.11 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Bank of America Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend payout ratio: 18.8% of net profits
Recently Bank of America Corporation has paid out, on average, around 18.8% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.87% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bank of America Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.87% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bank of America Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.78 per share.
While Bank of America Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Bank of America Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Bank of America Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 December 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Bank of America Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 29 August 2004. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bank of America Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bank of America Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Bank of America Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Bank of America Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $29.0115 up to $50.08. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Bank of America Corporation's is 1.4911. This would suggest that Bank of America Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
