BofA is in Good Company

June 29, 2011

Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo have the greatest exposure to legal claims that they bundled troubled home loans and sold them as sound investments.  Together, they're likely to absorb about 40% of the industry’s mortgage-related losses.

In a recent research note, Paul Miller of FBR Capital Markets projected that BofA could face a total of $25 billion of losses from the soured mortgages, the most of any of the major banks.  Others face sizable risks, as well.  Mr. Miller predicted that:

  • Chase could expect losses reaching as much as $11.2 billion.
  • Wells Fargo has potential losses of up to $5.2 billion.
  • Citigroup could see losses top $3.3 billion.
