JPMorgan Sees Deal Delays, Not Cancellations, During Market Uncertainty
JPM sits 20% above its 52-week low of $279.1.
Summary
JPMorgan's Q3 earnings call revealed preliminary 2027 net interest income guidance of $107 billion excluding Markets, implying about $5 billion growth versus annualized Q4 2026. CFO Jeremy Barnum said consumer spending remained strong and the investment banking pipeline healthy, with deals more likely postponed than canceled. Management declined to forecast Q4 Markets revenue, citing uncertainty, and reaffirmed the 17% through-the-cycle ROTCE target. The bank is tightening some credit standards and flagged risks from higher energy costs, interest rates, leveraged finance, hedge funds, and AI-related exposure. This follows the earlier Q3 earnings report that missed consensus on EPS and revenue.
At the time of this announcement, JPM was trading at $334.99 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $890.5B. The 52-week trading range was $279.10 to $366.50.
