Stress test presentation summary
25 Sep, 2026Capital planning process and governance
Capital planning integrates risk identification, measurement, and loss estimation across scenarios, overseen by a senior management committee with robust internal controls and governance.
The process includes standalone impact analysis for risks not fully captured in stress testing, comprehensive capital policy, contingency planning, and effective oversight.
Stress test scenario assumptions
The Supervisory Severely Adverse scenario models a severe global recession with a 4.6% RGDP decline, 10% peak unemployment, 38.8% CRE price drop, 29.7% home price drop, and 57.8% equity market decline over nine quarters.
Instantaneous global market shocks are applied to trading and counterparty exposures, with capital ratios calculated under the Basel 3 Standardized approach.
Bank of America Corporation (BAC) results
Projects a $3.4B cumulative pre-tax loss over nine quarters, with $39.2B in loan and lease losses, $13.1B in provision expense, $8.4B in trading/counterparty losses, and $4.6B in other losses, offset by $62.1B PPNR.
Estimated minimum capital ratios: CET1 9.5%, Tier 1 10.9%, Total Capital 13.1%, Tier 1 Leverage 6.2%, Supplementary Leverage 5.2%.
RWA increases are driven by commercial loan draws and trading book exposures, partially offset by lower consumer loans.
