No verifiable public information could be found identifying a Mary Sport who works as an analyst at Bank of America, including on LinkedIn, professional biography pages, or analyst ranking platforms. Because of this, it is not possible to accurately state her exact title, specific company coverage, performance track record, career timeline, or professional credentials without risking fabrication.

Question · Q3 2026
