Bank of America (BoA) saw its stock price increase following the announcement of new cost-cutting measures. The bank hopes these measures will streamline operations and improve profitability in the long term.

The plan includes several key components:

• Reduction in workforce through attrition and targeted layoffs.
• Consolidation of branch locations to optimize the bank’s physical footprint.

• Renegotiation of vendor contracts to secure more favorable terms.
