Is JPMorgan Chase (JPM) The Best Stock to Buy After Earnings?

We recently published Top 10 Trending Stocks Everyone’s Watching in Q4. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) is one of the trending stocks everyone's watching.

Stephanie Link, Hightower Advisors chief investment strategist and portfolio manager, said in a recent program on CNBC that she likes JPM. Here’s why:

“I mean, my goodness, it was a great quarter. It’s just that the stock is up 28% and it’s not cheap at 2.5 times book, but I mean you had investment banking fees up 17%. Trading up 24%. Equities up 33%. Thick business up 21% and their deal making fees were up 16%. So I mean it was really good across the board. It’s just had a nice run. So, I think if these stocks are weak today for any reason, you know, macro-wise, I think you buy them.”

Carillon Eagle Growth & Income Fund stated the following regarding JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) contributed to performance as a result of renewed investor optimism about deregulation and a rebound in capital markets activity. Moreover, all large cap banks easily passed the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) stress test and are now in a better position to deliver substantial share repurchases and dividend increases.”
