Coming into today, shares of the biggest U.S. bank by assets had lost 2.37% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector lost 2.11%, while the S&P 500 lost 1.19%.
JPM will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. On that day, JPM is projected to report earnings of $2.56 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 11.79%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $29.38 billion, up 5.86% from the prior-year quarter.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $10 per share and revenue of $115.29 billion, which would represent changes of +11.11% and +5.74%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for JPM. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. JPM is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Digging into valuation, JPM currently has a Forward P/E ratio of 11.08. This represents a premium compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 10.9.
It is also worth noting that JPM currently has a PEG ratio of 1.58. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate.
