Banker Bank of America (BAC) priced the new issue of preferred stock with the coupon a little lower than ‘yield talk’.
The issue priced at 4.375%. The issue is low investment grade.
The company is selling a giant 44 million shares, and as many people pointed out yesterday, the banker will likely redeem their 6.2% issue (BAC-C) when it becomes redeemable in January. The C issue is 40 million shares so it will require most of the proceeds from this issue.
The issue trades immediately under OTC grey market ticker BACPL.

Bought at $25.06, $25.00 and $24.97
I’m curious where this thing is heading over the next two days.
Unlike many here….I have no complaints about anything of reasonable quality that is not sub 1%. Twelve years of interest rates that have ranged from nothing to almost nothing. And I believe not only are another 12 years of this possible but we could have inflation as well. Which means negative nominal rates if we are not there already
Just nibbled a little because well, bank interest rates are 0.05%. So my 100 shares can make more than 100K in a savings account.
