Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 2 findings
−5 of −30
  • Return level
    ROE of 12.7% and ROTCE of 17.0% in Q2 2026 (TTM ROE 11.2%) versus JPMorgan's roughly 23% ROTCE; ROE was 9.2-11.8% in 2021-2025. A large, low-yielding bond portfolio from 2020-21 still drags on returns.
    −3
  • Quality of growth
    EPS was flat from 2021 to 2024 (3.57 → 3.19 USD); the latest lift (+28% TTM) comes from repricing of fixed-rate assets, Global Markets and buybacks (share count −3.7%), not from a markedly stronger business.
    −2

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 2 findings
−9 of −35
  • P/TBV and P/E versus own history
    P/B 1.38 (P/TBV 1.84 on tangible book value of USD 29.51) is the highest since 2006 and above the full 10-year range of 0.68-1.37 (2015-2025); P/TBV was 1.28-1.87 in 2021-2025. P/E 12.6 versus 10.2-13.8 and forward 11.2. The share price is +72% since the end of 2023, while TTM EPS has risen 42%; the re-rating has taken place.
    −8
  • Peers
    P/TBV 1.84 and P/E 12.6 versus Wells Fargo 1.81/12.1 with slightly higher ROTCE (17.7%); in line with peers, but no discount.
    −1

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 3 findings
−7 of −35
  • Interest rate risk in the bond portfolio
    The bank subsidiary held 514.8bn USD in held-to-maturity securities and 83.3bn USD in total unrealised losses (Q1 2026), equal to approx. 40% of the group's tangible equity of 207bn USD. The sharp rate spike in Q3 (KBW bank index more than 13% below the August peak) increases the losses and ties up capital and liquidity.
    −4
  • Capital markets revenue
    At the Barclays conference, Moynihan guided Q3 investment banking fees to USD 1.6-1.8bn against analysts' about 2bn and said the trading business (especially fixed income) has cooled after a strong first half.
    −2
  • Governance
    Insiders own only 0.16% of the shares.
    −1

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 2 findings
+4 of +15
  • Raised guidance
    NII +9% in Q2 to USD 16.0bn, and full-year NII growth is now guided to the upper end of 6-8%; positive operating leverage of 6.6%. Investment banking fees for Q3 were, however, guided below expectations (see T3), so only 1 point.
    +1
  • Dividend and buybacks
    Share count -3.7% over a year, dividend +9%; total shareholder yield 6.1% (approx. 23bn USD) against net income of 32bn, so the distribution is below earnings.
    +3

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Re-scored more strictly 11 Oct 2026 (P/TBV against own history). Q3 report 14 Oct 2026; the score predates the report (data as of 11 Oct 2026). Bank: EV, ROIC and FCF are not meaningful; valuation on P/TBV and P/E. P/TBV history only for 2021–2025 (stockanalysis); the 10-year history is P/B from companiesmarketcap. The unrealised loss figure is from the bank subsidiary as of Q1 2026, and the Barclays conference source is secondary. Credit quality was checked and is benign in Q2 2026 (net charge-offs 0.47% versus 0.55%, non-performing 5.9bn USD, criticised commercial real estate loans declining), so there is no credit deduction; but low credit losses mean earnings are close to the top of the cycle
