Top Analyst Reports for JPMorgan Chase, EPAM and Costco
The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., EPAM Systems, Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corp. These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
The daily 'Ahead of Wall Street' article is a must-read for all investors who would like to be ready for that day's trading action. The article comes out before the market opens, attempting to make sense of that morning's economic releases and how they will affect that day's market action. You can read this article for free on our home page and can actually sign up there to get an email notification as this article comes out each morning.
Shares of JPMorgan Chase have gained +32.1% over the past year against the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry’s gain of +33.1%. The company shares were driven by continued operational strength amid cost concerns and a weak asset quality. Business expansion efforts, loan demand and changes in interest rates will aid net interest income (NII) growth.
The Zacks analyst projects NII to witness a CAGR of 3.3% by 2027. In investment banking (IB), the company’s solid pipeline and market leadership remain competitive strengths, though capital markets volatility and elevated mortgage rates are likely to weigh on fee income. Our estimates for non-interest income don’t show a favorable trend this year.
Technology and marketing investments will keep costs elevated. The Zacks analyst expects expenses to reflect a CAGR of 4.4% by 2027. A tough macro backdrop raises concerns about asset quality. We expect provisions to rise 10.5% in 2025.
Shares of EPAM have declined -12.9% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry’s decline of -13.3%. The company is gaining from the ongoing digital transformation by enterprises and a continued focus on customer engagement and product development. EPAM’s sustained focus on strategic acquisitions and partnerships enhances its product portfolio and drives top-line growth.
The Zacks analyst model estimates suggest that EPAM’s revenues are expected to witness a CAGR of 9.8% between 2025 and 2027. Its substantial investment in Gen AI capabilities is expected to boost growth as AI becomes increasingly integral to enterprise operations.
A sustained focus on realigning the cost structure with the current demand environment is likely to benefit margins. Intensifying competition and unfavorable forex are other major concerns.
Shares of Costco have underperformed the Zacks Retail - Discount Stores industry over the past year (-10.4% vs. +0.1%). Being a consumer defensive stock, the company has survived the market turmoil, supported by its resilient membership-based model, disciplined pricing, and operational excellence.
Costco’s consistent renewal rates and expanding member base reinforce its dependable recurring revenue stream, while the Kirkland Signature brand continues to drive margin strength. Robust e-commerce momentum and growing adoption of digital fulfillment services enhance Costco’s omnichannel reach, driving traffic.
Strategic sourcing, diversification, and supply chain efficiency have helped mitigate tariff and cost pressures. Backed by a solid liquidity position, Costco remains well-positioned to capitalize on global growth opportunities.
Since 2000, our top stock-picking strategies have blown away the S&P's +7.7% average gain per year. Amazingly, they soared with average gains of +48.4%, +50.2% and +56.7% per year.
