Bank of America Ownership

Bank of America holds a total of 9.81 Billion outstanding shares. Almost 83.13 percent of Bank of America outstanding shares are held by general public with 16.87 % by other corporate entities. Please note that no matter how many assets the company secures, if the real value of the firm is less than the current market value, you may not be able to make money on it. Some institutional investors establish a significant position in preferred stocks such as Bank of America in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of Bank of America, and when they decide to sell, the preferred stock will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.
