BofA may post added $27B in housing losses, Sanford Bernstein says

Bank of America Corp., the largest U.S. lender, may face a further $27 billion of housing-related losses between now and 2013 amid increasing regulation as the economic recovery slows, analysts at Sanford C. Bernstein said. The losses would be in addition to the $46 billion the Charlotte, North Carolina-based lender has already recorded, analysts led by John E. McDonald wrote in a note to clients Monday.
