Where Are Bank of America's Official Risk Factors?

The risks Bank of America considers material are disclosed in Item 1A of its Form 10-K, most recently filed February 25, 2026. Read them with three questions in mind: which risks are specific to this company rather than generic, which have changed since the prior year's filing, and which connect to the figures above (a refinancing risk matters more when interest coverage is thin).

Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Bank of America reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000070858-26-000157 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
