Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
J P. Morgan Chase is trading near three hundred twelve
United States dollars and fifty three cents per share today,
just off its twelvemonth high of three hundred sixteen United
States dollars and thirty one cents. The company has clearly
outperformed over the past year, with analysts noting a recent
technical trend toward further gains. On the most recent trading day,

(00:22):
approximately six million shares exchanged hands, about six hundred thousand
more than the day before, signaling an uptick in both
price and trading activity. The average volume often comes in lower,
making this an above average session in terms of market interest.
One notable development is the recent analyst upgrades, including a
new price target from Wells Fargo in company, which increased

(00:44):
their outlook from three hundred twenty five United States dollars
to three hundred forty five United States dollars and gave
the stock an overweight rating, which speaks to broader positivity
among large institutional analysts. The consensus analyst target for the
company is still in the rain range of three hundred
three United States dollars, with high end projections up to
three hundred sixty United States dollars within the next few

(01:06):
months if the current trend continues. Financially, JP Morgan Chase
reported quarterly earnings back in July that beat expectations. The
company posted earnings of four United States dollars and ninety
six cents per share, well above consensus estimates of four
United States dollars and forty eight cents. Return on equity
reached nearly seventeen percent, and net margin was a strong

(01:30):
twenty percent. However, revenue for the quarter was forty four
billion United States dollars, which marks a decline year over year,
a somewhat sober note amid the otherwise strong results. Despite
the technical strength, some analysts have recently downgraded their outlook
to hold rather than buy, citing minor weaknesses in the
near turned technical picture and high volatility expectations for the

(01:53):
next trading session. The overall institutional view remains that it
is a hold or accumulate position, while awaiting greater clarity
in broader news. There have been no major negative company
specific developments in recent days, and j P. Morgan Chase
continues to operate as the sector bellweather, balancing client demand
across consumer, commercial and wealth management services, all while maintaining

(02:17):
a robust dividend and stable forward outlook. With the next
earnings date set for October fourteenth, investors are watching to
see if the company can sustain its operating momentum into
the end of the year.
