Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $JPMorgan (JPM.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Driven by a re-acceleration in EPS growth and an improving regulatory backdrop, it's expected that JPMorgan shares will outperform the S&P in 2025, potentially marking the fourth consecutive year of such outperformance. With its excess capital positioning and a liquid balance sheet, JPMorgan is believed to have significant strategic flexibility to navigate potential worsening macroeconomic scenarios.
The analyst expresses a positive outlook on bank stocks for 2025, based on accelerated earnings growth driven by enhanced loan growth, escalating capital markets activity, the resurgence of positive operating leverage, and ongoing share buybacks. The projection includes an expansion in price-to-earnings multiples, supported by a stable economic environment, reductions in regulations, improved returns, and increased mergers and acquisitions activity. It's suggested that large-cap banks are poised to exceed market performance into 2025 as their earnings growth quickens.
