Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) stock could be on the cusp of surging. The bank passed its stress test earlier this month and subsequently raised its dividend to 22 cents per share.

Rocketing prices have made trips to the grocery store a more miserable essential activity than ever. And while it’s natural to think companies involved with bringing food to your table have reaped the rewards, many of those stocks have withered of late.

U.S. President Joe Biden will decide whether to cancel any further student debt. He has already canceled $400 billion of student loans; therefore, there is hope that further relief is around the corner.
