BUY

JPM came through the pandemic fairly well; they set up reserves for bad loans and were cautious. Still are. They recaptured many billions of dollars of those reserves, based on their report last week. Their capital markets business is doing very well. They will gradually capitalize on the steepening yield curve. The US banks, especially JPM, are in a fine position.

DON'T BUY

The performance results and the underlying disconnect between Main Street and Wall Street is not showing up yet. The provisions have been raised. Usually in recessions, we see a US bank implode. This has not yet happened this time around. Has concerns over the profitability and the underlying weak fundamentals. It is being supported with substantial stimulus. It is difficult to assess risk on US banks and so would stay away.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Best of breed. Reported good numbers, but the stock still sold down. JPM made a ton of money in the last quarter. If this hadn't run up to today's earnings, this would have rallied. Instead, it didn't blow away expectations. Wait three days for the price to drop further, then buy in.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Look for good news on down days like today. US banks can now buyback shares. That's why JPM bounced today. Also, the Fed proclaimed that banks like this are strong enough to withstand the winter pandemic. Lesson: look for good news on bad days.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 20/19, Down 4%) Highest quality US bank, and possibly in the world. Sophisticated technology. Well managed. Set to benefit from a reflationary cycle. Strong capital markets business. Could buy here and hold for 10 hears. He'd buy again.

PARTIAL SELL

Buy after JPM has increased its interest in a Chinese joint venture? His problem is that interest rates are so low that they can't make money. It's a partial sell, and instead buy MS or Goldman.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly JPM just reported earnings and the 3% drop in revenue from a year ago, but revenues were $1 billion higher than expected at $29 billion. Investment bank revenues were up 21% over the year thanks to a strong trading segment. EPS was reported at $2.92, beating consensus by $0.73. The company managed to post $611 million in credit-reserves, when the market expected $1.5 billion. It pays a good dividend (backed by a 47% payout ratio) and is likely poised to increase it again soon, when allowed. We would trade this with a stop-loss at $92. Yield 3.59% (Analysts’ price target is $115.90)

DON'T BUY

The US banks report next Tuesday and he doesn't expect good numbers. The banks are helpless because interest rates are so low. JOM is a big lender to small business, but small businesses are troubled now due to Covid. The Fed Reserve also scrutinizes them for their buybacks and dividends.

BUY

On the subject of spoofing, it is illegal and regulators have clamped down on it. With a sprawling organization like JPM, there are incentives for traders. Owning any bank in 2020 has been a disaster. He is hopeful the company has taken the medicine and the economy continues to recover. It is very cheap and attractive at this price. He continues to buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 05/19, Down 8%) Given the pandemic, their results were quite good. It is a large bank and benefits from capital markets activities. They have taken appropriate loan loss provisions. Dividends are safe. Rates have come down to levels to where they should stabilize or rise. He is positive on this and financials in general.

BUY

It's pulled back, so buy it now. Now only 130% of book value. Gold standard in banking in the world. Revenues were up 13% y/y. Economy is opening up a bit faster than predicted, so some reserves may be recaptured. Can absorb the recent fines without a hiccup. A different situation than with Wells Fargo; JPM penalty is a one-off.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 20/19, Down 9%) Class act. Rock solid balance sheet, outstanding leadership. Great investment banking, large digital presence. Well capitalized. Good valuation. Being paid to wait while pandemic gets solved is a wise long-term decision. Yield is close to 4%.

TOP PICK

Best in class. Rock solid balance sheet, outstanding leadership. Great investment banking, large digital presence. Well capitalized. Good valuation. Dividend sustainable. Election outcome won't have a negative impact. Yield is 3.82%. (Analysts’ price target is $114.86)

BUY

She prefers JPM to Citi because their managers are strong; they're the cream of the crop among US banks. JPM was very conservative in their provisions in the last few quarters. JPM will bounce back well.
