Just wait until Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) cuts their dividend, then how low will shares get?

Barron’s lowered their outlook on BAC last week.  They now expect BofA’s 2008 and 2009 earnings-per-share estimates to $2.20/$3.60 (from $2.70/4.00), largely reflecting continued uncertainty on the credit front and a more-conservative view of structured products/capital markets near term. Our second-quarter 2008 EPS estimate falls to 55 cents from 79 cents.

Barron’s price target droped to $25 (versus $34), which is approximately 2.0 times estimated 2009 tangible book value.

The buzz continues about “if” BofA cuts their dividend but its turning into more of a “when” consensus.

The lower the stock price falls the more BofA will have to payout, but can they afford the current 8.6% yield?

Sign of the times Masters. At this point, why not wait to see if they cut the dividend, then make your decision.
