JPMorgan Chase | Fundamental AnalysisDespite the high valuation and declining stock price following the release of its Q4 and full-year 2021 earnings report, analysts still believe that JPMorgan Chase is the best-performing banking asset of its kind. After all, America's largest bank by asset size generated more than $125 billion in earnings on a managed basis in 2021. Still, the bank may struggle to deliver the returns investors have grown accustomed to in recent years because of some near-term adversity. And here's why.
One way to estimate JPMorgan's accomplishments on a quarterly and annual basis is the return on tangible total capital (ROTCE), which is a technical rate of return on equity after dismissing selected stock, charity, and intangible assets. It is definitely a strong number, taking into account the intricacy of the bank and the amount of regulatory capital it must have. In recent years, JPMorgan has mostly exceeded its target of 17%.
In 2019, before the pandemic and when the federal funds rate was higher, which is apt to help banks, JPMorgan Chase reported 19% ROTCE. The bank reported 14% ROTCE in 2020 and then 23% in 2021. However, both ROTCEs in 2020 and 2021 were significantly influenced by reserve capital. In 2020, JPMorgan had to set aside a ton of funds to prepare for potential loan losses, which significantly reduced profits. In 2021, realizing that these loan losses would not be realized, JPMorgan put the reserve capital back into earnings, which increased ROTCE significantly. When the reserve capital was drawn out in 2020 and 2021, JPMorgan's earnings were 19% and 18% ROTCE, respectively.
How did these numbers do so well with so little credit growth and low interest rates over the past two years? The bank's Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) division had an outstanding year, first in capital markets and then in investment banking in 2021. But as earnings at CIB are expected to normalize this year and interest rates remain relatively low, all things considered, achieving the 17% goal becomes more challenging.
No doubt much of the sell-off after JPMorgan's Jan. 14 report was due to the bank's guidance, which was somewhat muddled and seemed to suggest less fortunate outcomes this year and possibly next.
One of the main metrics on which banks typically provide guidance is net interest income (NII), which is the money banks earn on loans and securities after covering the cost of funding those assets. When the Federal Reserve raises its benchmark overnight lending rate, the federal funds rate, banks tend to earn more NII because the yield on their assets, such as loans and securities, is revalued based on the federal funds rate higher than the rate on their liabilities, such as deposits. JPMorgan does expect NII to grow as a result of rising rates. In 2021, NII from loans and securities was about $44.5 billion. With expected rate increases this year, some growth in loans and securities placements, JPMorgan expects that to grow to about $50 billion in 2022.
But JPMorgan also gets NII from the bank's CIB Markets division, mostly from the bank's fixed-income capital markets business, doing things like holding bonds and some customer lending and financing. This was very high in 2020 and 2021 at $8.4 billion and $8.2 billion, respectively, but is now expected to normalize as rising rates also drive up the cost of funding fixed-income assets. In 2019, when the economy was more normal, the NII of CIB markets was only about $3.1 billion. Thus, while JPMorgan is expected to benefit significantly from rising rates, NII may be offset to some extent by lower NII in CIB markets, although this NII is harder to predict.
JPMorgan's spending forecast also took analysts by surprise. After spending just under $71 billion last year, management expects spending to reach about $77 billion this year, a slight increase. About $2.5 billion of that increase will go toward employee compensation and normalizing travel and entertainment expenses, and about $3.5 billion will go toward investments in the company, such as technology capabilities, expansion, and marketing.
As analysts noted, such spending growth is likely to make it difficult for JPMorgan to get positive operating leverage this year and possibly next, when revenue growth outpaces expense growth.
But CEO Jamie Dimon said reaching 17% ROTCE is not out of the question in 2023, depending on factors such as the performance of fixed-income capital markets and the deployment of excess cash, on which the bank has been conservative. Investors also seem somewhat disappointed that JPMorgan has significantly increased its investments in the company over the past few years, so they want those investments to be reflected in earnings.
JPMorgan stock has been priced pretty high, and it will face some difficulties in the coming years. At this point, there is probably potential for much higher returns in stocks like Citigroup and Wells Fargo, which are on a turnaround. But they also carry a lot of risks, while experts are confident that JPMorgan management is managing the company wisely and investing to handle all the competition in the banking sector now and in the future.
NYSE: JPM/ JP Morgan bullish reversal by tomorrowJP Morgan has been ranging for a few months now. I anticipate it to do the same thing it's been doing thus far and continue consolidating. We look to see a rejection in today's trading session and a confirmation of a bullish reversal by tomorrows trading session. JP Morgan will bounce off our strong support cluster to continue ranging until we get a confirmation of a clear breakout in either direction.
Attempt at Wave Confirmation (1d) (Jan 2022)JP Morgan & Chase ( JPM ) (January 2022)
I still believe there may be an Elliott wave in this chart printing since the March 2020 market-wide crash. I've had to update since the last time I published but I was able to clean up this chart. I will try to watch this one more frequently now.
I think the next drop will end near ~$140 or even ~$130 depending on our suspected 4th wave here. Looking for a 50% or 38% retrace to confirm a 4th wave, those 2 price levels would satisfy that condition for me. It seems like it has already retraced further than 24% (<0.786) so I expect at least $140 or $130 if this is a true Elliott wave. I suspect this drop could continue from now into March or May 2022.
After a drop to one of the suspected levels for 4th wave, I expect a 5th wave that could end at either $170 (red/gold fib 1.0) or $191 (red fib 1.27/gold fib 1.618) anytime from December 2022 to February 2023. A final peak of $170 would make wave 5 a "failed 5th wave" and would probably support the fundamentals of a "double top" chart pattern as the suspected wave 3 ended along the same level.
Note the 3 moving averages converging on the price range I indicated for a 4th wave.

JP Morgan earnings on 1/14 at 6:50amJP Morgan Chase (JPM) Q4 December 2021 earnings are on 1/14 at 6:50am. JP Morgan Chase (JPM) reported Q3 September 2021 earnings of $3.74 per share on revenue of $31 billion. JPMorgan Chase had $3.8 trillion in assets and $290 billion in stockholders equity as of September 30, 2021. The setup for bulls was better a few days ago, now it's likely a better setup for bears. With that said, I'm neutral leaning bullish here because of the institutional rotation into financials for 2022, Fed quantitative easing tapering and anticipated rate hikes, along with a possible Q4 earnings flat, but with a positive Q1/2022 earnings guidance in the conference call. Here's the 1 day price levels.

Revenue = $29.71B
P/E = 10.62

A little bad ( a little bearish)
In case of good stocks I prefer to be an investor not a trader, but trading with lower Trading with smaller amounts can increase the overall profitability without any unreasonable risk.
JPM bearish Elliot waves After making a high on the harmonic butterfly pattern JPM has reached a critical inflection point where we're probably going to see either the trend continue or an important break. A breaking of the current support might give us our 5th wave in an Elliot based drop. If that's the case, then the next rally can turn into a huge bull trap.
JPMorgan ChasePotential double bottom setup here. I like this companies financials. It's a credit card company so I'm thinking about the attractiveness of reward points and holiday spending. Even though it's not estimated to be a great holiday season for some, I'm more so thinking about the surcharges and end of month billing here. Chase is also a bank on top of that and just in case they raise interest rates, this may not be a bad move. I want us to reach anywhere between 50-68% of the previous high which was set inn October. I love financials around this time of the year. Let's see what happens!

JPM loses trendline support JPM and C have the most bearish charts of all the banks ..
Here you can see by the volume that Investors have been dumping this since NOV. Closed below trendline support but but bounced off its weeklys 50sma. if it falls below that weekly 50sma we are headed back to 141support.
This chart actually goes contrary to my view of XLF rallying. I'll have reevaluate XLF is JPM loses its 50sma
