JPMorgan Chase & Co JPM

The bottom line

There was no real corporate news on JPMorgan itself this week; every mention is its research desk rating other companies. What actually moves the stock is bank earnings, rates and credit quality: last quarter brought $76.2B revenue (up 6% year over year) and $15.3B net income, though EPS came in at $5.75 versus a $5.94 estimate. A 13.9 P/E against a 12.3 peer median prices a profitable, steady bank with buybacks and a dividend, not unusual growth. The central tension: the shares sit at 63% of their 52-week range and fell 2.4% in a week when the sector rose, while the average analyst target ($372) sits above the $331.58 close.
