SEC charges ex-BofA banker over $18.5M insider-trading windfall tied to SJ Industries deal

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has sued Jason Satsky, the former head of Bank of America’s energy and power infrastructure unit, alleging he shared material non-public information about a planned takeover of South Jersey Industries with his friend Gavin Wolfe. Wolfe purchased about 2.2 million South Jersey shares for roughly $53 million between November and December 2021 and later generated about $18.5 million in illegal profits after the deal was announced in February 2022. The SEC says the two exchanged multiple messages and that their relationship included favors beyond business, but Bank of America is not accused; Satsky has left the bank and Wolfe is a former BofA employee who was not at the bank at the time of the trading.

BofA Says Nvidia Could Be as Much as 50% Cheaper on AI Risks

Bank of America argues Nvidia could be trading at a 34% to 50% discount to its free cash flow after financing risks, suggesting AI-related fears may be overstated and presenting a potential buying opportunity; Nvidia continues to invest in its AI ecosystem (including a possible $105 billion Ohio data center for OpenAI and large stakes in SpaceX and Intel) while pursuing buybacks, with BofA keeping a Buy rating and a $350 target despite risks if AI demand slows.

Bank of America Sees 50% Upside for Micron on AI-Driven Memory Demand

Bank of America reiterates a Buy on Micron and lifts its price target to $1,550, signaling about 50% upside as AI-driven memory demand and disciplined supply could lift 2030 earnings to roughly $200–$250 per share with margins above 80%. The bull case hinges on strong demand and supply discipline seen in Sandisk’s investor day, but the analyst warns the memory cycle could stay cyclical if supply outruns demand, and MU’s valuation carries signs of caution.

BofA Keeps Intel Buy as $20B Offering Fuels Foundry Push

Bank of America maintains a Buy rating on Intel after a $20 billion stock offering (210.5 million shares at $95) would dilute existing holders by about 4–5%, but the bank says the funds could accelerate Intel’s foundry expansion and advanced packaging, potentially boosting wafer fabrication share by 2030. BofA lowers its price target to $145 from $160 due to dilution and weaker AI‑focused semiconductor multiples, while noting execution risks around yields, process ramps, and rival packaging competition.

BOA warns midterms could spark a major stock-market reversal

Bank of America strategists warn the upcoming midterm elections could trigger a sizable reversal in stocks, potentially pushing investors into defensive plays like gold amid concerns of a Democratic sweep, higher yields, and a widening wealth gap. The firm notes that much of the economy’s growth has been driven by the wealth effect from stock gains, so a downturn could dampen consumer spending; they also flag rising yields as a risk to risk assets and even the AI bubble. Historically, midterm years show volatile, often muted, market returns, suggesting a cautious, defensively tilted stance could prevail in the near term.

Musk’s Nvidia endorsement spooks AMD while BofA sees big AI upside ahead

AMD stock fell about 7% after Elon Musk endorsed Nvidia as the AI-chip leader, even as AMD posted solid data-center growth and guided Q3 revenue near $13B. Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya said to ignore the quarterly noise and focus on AMD’s longer AI opportunity, with Helios ramp beginning in 2027 and a Buy rating with a $620 target; he also raised 2026–2028 earnings estimates and sees the AI compute market exceeding $2 trillion by 2030, with AMD gaining meaningful share of GPUs and servers (roughly 7–8% of GPUs and 25–30% of CPUs) to push earnings toward the $30s per share by decade end, even if Nvidia remains the leader.

BoA Bets Big on Micron's AI Memory Boom

Bank of America reiterates a Buy rating on Micron (MU) with a $1,550 price target, arguing that the latest wave of open-source AI models will boost demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and accelerate enterprise AI deployments, even as models get more efficient. The bullish view comes after Micron’s fiscal Q3 results: revenue of $41.46 billion, adjusted EPS of $25.11, and record free cash flow of $18.3 billion, with expectations of continued strength. Micron is expanding long-term automotive and tech supply agreements and increasing HBM production, while BOA notes that the stock’s forward valuation remains below the semiconductor sector median and that CHIPS Act buyback restrictions could lift around December 2026, expanding shareholder-return flexibility.

Banks Poised for Strong Q2 Amid IPO Boom and Trading Surge

Investors expect JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs to post strong Q2 results as investment banking fees from deals like SpaceX IPO and robust trading lift revenue; analysts foresee substantial gains in investment banking and trading amid a favorable backdrop of rising markets, healthy consumer lending, and soft dollars from IPO allocations, though questions remain about sustainability and deposit-margin pressure.

CBS Anchor narrowly avoids cash withdrawal scam, warns about sophisticated fraud

CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman revealed he was nearly scammed by a caller posing as Bank of America fraud protection. The caller instructed him to withdraw cash from his bank to trap the supposed fraudsters, but Gutman realized the ruse and stopped short. He credited the LAPD and Bank of America for helping avert a potential danger and later shared scam-prevention tips, including hanging up and calling the bank using the number on the card, noting that legitimate banks would not ask customers to withdraw funds or stay silent.

BofA flags frothy markets and a looming snapback that could trim this year's gains

Bank of America says the current market rally is overheating, with high-multiples leading gains and speculation at extreme levels, suggesting a valuation snapback ahead. The bank sticks with a year-end S&P 500 target of about 7,100 and warns that AI-driven hyperscalers are eroding free cash flow relative to earnings. A Fed tightening path—up to three rate hikes this year—could further compress multiples, making the path higher for equities likely non-linear and volatile, even as some analysts debate higher targets.
