Bank of America (BAC) Stock News: August 2026

A Bank of America survey reportedly shows 27% of managers are overweight US stocks, indicating growing bullishness. The claim is unverified and lacks original report details.

Bank of America says rising commodity costs and limited pricing power are increasing margin pressure on consumer staples companies. Oil, diesel and agricultural prices have surged. Cocoa jumped 102% in three months. BofA sees Conagra, Campbell’s, Pilgrim’s Pride and General Mills among the most exposed.

Stocks would fall over 10% if Democrats take Senate, BofA strategist says.
