Looking ahead, analysts are expecting more upside for JPM.

JPMorgan's shares have outperformed the industry over the past 12 months. The bank's earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters. Opening new branches in 48 states in the United States, strategic buyouts, global expansion and digitization initiatives, and decent mortgage banking business are expected to continue aiding financials. JPMorgan's impressive capital deployments reflect earnings strength and solid balance sheet, and will enhance shareholder value. While robust economic recovery will likely lead to rise in demand for loans, coronavirus-induced economic downturn that hampered business activities continues to hurt loan demand. The Federal Reserve’s accommodative policy and near-zero rates are likely to hurt interest income and margins. Steadily rising expenses also remains a concern.

Shares have gained 5.94% over the past four weeks and there have been 5 higher earnings estimate revisions for fiscal 2021 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
