JPMorgan (JPM) shares have gained 157.1% over three years, and the article asks whether the bank's return on capital supports the current price of US$331.58. Using an Excess Returns model, it relies on an average return on equity of 18.38%, book value of $132.30 per share and stable EPS of $27.24 per share from 13 analysts, and finds the estimate substantially above the share price, consistent with the headline's 33% undervaluation claim. It links this to JPM Coin's expansion to Ethereum and the ramp-up of tokenized money market funds, which it says could help the bank keep earning returns above its required rate. It also notes a 13.6x P/E as a different, earnings-based valuation view.

- JPMorgan (JPM): Can New Branches Keep Winning Profitable Customers?
JPMorgan is expanding branches as rivals also invest in their networks, and the article argues the challenge is retaining deposits without overpaying while earning enough from each relationship to cover acquisition and servicing costs. JPMorgan trades at 13x forward P/E, and its Q2 EPS was $7.70, or $6.14 excluding significant securities gains. Analysts expect roughly 4% adjusted EPS growth in 2027 versus 2026, compared with 14% for peer Bank of America (BAC), which trades at 10x forward P/E. JPMorgan attributes about 40% of its deposit-share gains since 2019 to new branches, and says 90% of its first-time wealth investors in 2025 came through branch referrals. However, national retail deposit share slipped to 11.1% in 2025, and average Business Banking loans fell 5% in Q2 2026.
- The Investment Case for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
Diamond Hill's Large Cap Strategy returned 3.18% net of fees in Q3 2026, outperforming the 2.61% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index, and added JPMorgan Chase as a new holding. The firm said JPMorgan's scale should support continued technology investment that improves efficiency, helping contain expense growth and drive operating leverage. It expects below-average returns across the market due to high equity valuations, though attractive bottom-up opportunities remain. As of October 16, 2026, JPM closed at $339.72, with a $903.04 billion market cap, up 5.43% year-to-date and trading in a 52-week range of $279.10 to $366.50. Hedge fund portfolios holding JPM fell to 113 at the end of Q2 from 131 the previous quarter.
- Bank Earnings Roundup : Pockets of Opportunity in a Fairly Valued Sector
The report views the US banking sector as fairly valued, with regional banks looking more attractive than money-center banks. US bank shares were pressured in 2026 by unemployment linked to AI disruption, higher inflation, Federal Reserve rate hikes and rising 10-year Treasury yields. Covered banks now trade at a weighted average price/fair value of 0.96, down from 1.01 at the end of the second quarter, with BAC and RF at discounts of 15% and 18% to fair value estimates. Loan growth is expected to reach high-single digits in 2026, though intense deposit competition will cap net interest margin upside. The cycle-to-date beta of 35% is below the 47% historical average, meaning banks have benefited less from falling rates than in the past.
- Can JPMorgan Chase (JPM) Justify Above Fair Value After Token Push?
JPMorgan Chase’s share price has gained about 140% over the past three years, raising questions about whether its valuation reflects the returns it earns on capital, as tokenized money market funds and AI projects draw attention. Using an Excess Returns model, the article estimates stable EPS of $26.99 per share against a cost of equity of $12.07 per share, implying excess return of $14.92 per share on a book value of $133.01 and an average forecast ROE of 18.15%. This model value sits substantially above the current share price of $332.99, which the article partly links to fee-based infrastructure from tokenized money market funds aimed at regulated stablecoin reserves from 2027. The article also notes that its 13.9x P/E tells a different valuation story.
- JP Morgan lashes out at ‘unprincipled’ bank tax
JP Morgan has criticised the Budget increase in the UK bank surcharge, saying it is unfair to “single out” banks and “lacks principle”. The surcharge will temporarily double from 3% to 6% for 15 months from January to support energy bills; with corporation tax at 25%, the total rate for the sector reaches 31%, the highest since at least 2015. JP Morgan reportedly faces an extra £100m to £150m. The OBR estimates the higher rate will raise an extra £1.5bn, but roughly £190m of UK profits could move out of the country. Bank shares rallied because the increase was smaller than the feared 8% and time-limited, with Barclays up 3.2% and Lloyds and NatWest up closer to 4%.
- What Could JPMorgan Chase (JPM) Losing $1.4 Billion In Advisory Assets Signal?
A large advisory group at JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) has moved to Rockefeller Capital Management, taking more than US$1.4 billion in client assets with it. The departing advisers were part of J.P. Morgan's wealth management arm, serving high-net-worth and family office clients in key U.S. markets. The move gives Rockefeller Capital Management a bigger presence in the high-net-worth advisory segment previously served by J.P. Morgan teams. The article notes this is only one part of JPMorgan Chase's business, a global bank and financial holding company whose wealth unit sits within a much broader mix of retail, corporate and investment banking.
