#9 Bank of America

Ticker:?BAC

YTD stock performance:?92.2%

Market cap:?$114.4 billion

Fortune 500 rank:?13

????After a rough 2011,?Bank of America(BAC,?Fortune 500)?has benefited from a housing rebound and a better lending environment.

????The bank's revenues and profits got a healthy boost this year from?new mortgage originations?and an increase in corporate lending.

????Bank of America also cleared a few hurdles, including a $2.3 billion settlement with shareholders related to its acquisition of?Merrill Lynch.

????But the bank isn't completely out of the woods. Those profits were offset by high costs for servicing pre-crisis loans that were delinquent or defaulted.

????Bank of America also added another potential litigation landmine in October, when the?U.S. government initiated a lawsuit?against the bank for allegedly selling defective mortgages to consumers.

????The company appears to be on the right path, but the stock still has a ways to go. Shares remain 81% below their 2006 all-time high of $55.08.
