Company Overview

Tracing its roots back to 1799 when its earliest predecessor was founded by Aaron Burr, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) is a leading financial services company offering investment banking, consumer banking, commercial banking, and asset management services globally.

Sales Growth

Two primary revenue streams drive bank earnings. While net interest income, which is earned by charging higher rates on loans than paid on deposits, forms the foundation, fee-based services across banking, credit, wealth management, and trading operations provide additional income. Thankfully, JPMorgan Chase’s 8.7% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was solid. Its growth beat the average banking company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a helpful starting point for our analysis.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. JPMorgan Chase’s annualized revenue growth of 8.1% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was predictably strong.

This quarter, JPMorgan Chase reported year-on-year revenue growth of 10.5%, and its $47.12 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 4.1%.

Net interest income made up 50.7% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning JPMorgan Chase’s growth drivers strike a balance between lending and non-lending activities.

Our experience and research show the market cares primarily about a bank’s net interest income growth as non-interest income is considered a lower-quality and non-recurring revenue source.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)

The balance sheet drives banking profitability since earnings flow from the spread between borrowing and lending rates. As such, valuations for these companies concentrate on capital strength and sustainable equity accumulation potential.

When analyzing banks, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) takes precedence over many other metrics. This measure isolates genuine per-share value by removing intangible assets of debatable liquidation worth. Traditional metrics like EPS are helpful but face distortion from M&A activity and loan loss accounting rules.

JPMorgan Chase’s TBVPS grew at an incredible 10.9% annual clip over the last five years. TBVPS growth has also accelerated recently, growing by 14.2% annually over the last two years from $81.00 to $105.70 per share.

Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for JPMorgan Chase’s TBVPS to grow by 4.5% to $110.45, paltry growth rate.
