Detailed SWOT Analysis of Bank of America
Strength
This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.
Weakness
1. Income majorly attributed to home market: If we look at the overall distribution of Bank Of America’s income it is strictly concentrated to US. Approximately 90% of the income is through US and rest of the 10% is across outside countries. This 10% is very less in terms of the global brand value BOA has.
2. Declining reputation due to controversies: BOA has been involved in controversies like WikiLeaks controversy Paramat controversy which have dented its reputation .Recently it had to pay a record $16.65 billion fine to settle allegations that it sold toxic mortgages to its investors. BOA was also involved in issuing bad subprime loans.
3. Depending too much on cost cuts: Frequent layoffs and cost cuttings in recent years have jeopardized the reputation of the bank. Recently the CEO said BOA would incur another $5 billion in annual cost cuts by 2018 as part of its strategy to tackle the persistently low interest rates that are eating away the profitability. This shows the CEO is placing a lot of emphasis on cost discipline and job reductions which give an impression that the bank is running low on funds.
