JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) September 16, 2016
Financial Services – Diversified Banks Stock Rating Hold
Investment Thesis Target Price $70.00
We recommend a HOLD for JPMorgan Chase & CO. (JPM). On the one hand,
JPM has outperformed analyst expectations the past six quarters, should be
spurred by a stronger broader economy, and is a dominant player in the
commercial and investment banking spaces. On the other, JPM may be riskier
than it was before the financial crisis, faces a regulatory environment that will
strain its return on equity, and holds a high volume of complex assets/liabilities
– both on and off its balance sheet. Thus, while our models indicate JPM is
currently undervalued by 6%, we are cautious about the headwinds
mentioned.
Drivers:
• In each of the past six quarters, JPM has beat consensus EPS estimates by
an average of 12 cents (or 9%) per quarter.
• Real national and global GDP should continue to grow at 2% and 3%,
respectively, fostering 4.58% CAGR for JPM’s assets through 2020, higher
than its historical 4.34% CAGR.
• The Fed will implement four to six more 25 bps rate hikes through 2020,
helping JPM increase its net interest income at a 5.44% five-year CAGR and
improve its GAAP-basis net interest margin by 23 bps.
• JPM is the market leader in commercial and investment banking, earning
13.5% of all FDIC-insured bank revenue and 7% of all global investment
banking fees.
Risks:
• JPM has $515B in complex and difficult to value assets and liabilities, as
well as $940B in off-balance sheet exposures, which could present material
financial risk if such items are mispriced and/or underestimated.
• Due to regulations requiring JPM to increase its levels of equity, its return
on equity of 8.54% in 2020 will fail to exceed its cost of equity of 8.58%.
• Based on recently released data, JPM may be riskier now than it was before
the financial crisis as risk metrics such as its volatility, beta, CDS spread, etc.
have all increased.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We expect the national and global economies strengthen
even further in the coming years, which will help JPM’s
growth prospects. Specifically, we foresee continued rate
hikes, higher consumer confidence, tighter labor markets,
and increased residential and commercial real estate
development. Consequently, JPM’s five-year story is one
of sturdy growth at 4.58%, compounded annually, for
assets, 6.50% for loans, and 5.44% for net interest income.
These growth assumptions drive our various financial
models which produce intrinsic values ranging from
$69.51 to $75.01 and, in turn, our $70 target price. Given
that JPM currently trades at $65.82, it is undervalued by
6.%.
However, despite this growth story and slight upside, we
are only recommending a HOLD because we are concerned
about JPM’s risk profile and ability to incur new regulatory
costs without sacrificing too much profit. In particular, JPM
has a host of complex assets and liabilities on and off its
balance sheet which could adversely affect its growth. Also
per a variety of metrics, JPM may not have reduced its risk
since the financial crisis – despite adhering to a host of new
regulations. Moreover, due to even further regulations,
JPM’s return on equity is on a trajectory to fall short of its
cost of equity by 2020.
Ultimately, an investment in JPM comes with solid growth
potential, as well as unique risks. The combination of
which suggests it is close to fairly valued at its current
price.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) is a financial conglomerate
and bank holding company. JPM operates in 60+ countries,
employs over 240,000 people and has approximately
5,366 branches worldwide.i
Through Fiscal Year 2015, JPM
was the world’s seventh largest bank, as well as the largest
bank in the US, in terms of asset size ($2.41T at the end of
FY2015).ii
JPM achieved this stature through a series of
mergers and acquisitions of various banks and financial
companies. Two of which are particularly noteworthy. The
2000 merger of J.P. Morgan & Co. and Chase Manhattan
Corp., a $31B deal that combined two of the top five
largest banks in the US at the time and created the JPM
umbrella we know today.iii
Additionally, the 2004
acquisition of Bank One, a $58B deal that gave JPM a much
stronger retail and credit card presence and put Jamie
Dimon at the helm as CEO, who is still leading JPM today.iv
JPM has four major segments: Consumer and Community
Banking (CCB), Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB),
Commercial Banking (CB), and Asset Management (AM).
JPM also has a Corporate segment, that is a function of its
Treasury and Chief Investment Office (CIO).
Because of the overlap among departments and the
consolidated nature of JPM’s income statement, we did
not breakdown our forecasts by segment. Rather we
focused on each line item in the balance sheet and income
statement.
How JPM Makes Money
While the business segments highlighted above explain
the wide variety of products and services JPM offers, we
use different groupings to illustrate how JPM turns such
products and services into money. Specifically, five
categories that we labeled in the following manner: (1)
traditional banking, (2) complex banking, (3) investment
banking, (4) AM fees and commissions, and (5) other
banking.
Traditional banking consists of operations we view as
straightforward and relatively common among banks in
general. On the non-interest side, this includes lending and
deposit-related fees, mortgage fees and card income. On
the interest side, this includes interest income from loans,
securities borrowed, federal funds sold, and deposits with
other banks. The interest side represents the money JPM
earns via borrowing at one rate, through deposits and
other debt, and lending at another. The non-interest side
represents the fees associated with such dealings, as well
as credit card issuances. From 2011-2015, traditional
banking averaged 51% of JPM’s gross revenue.
Page 3
Complex banking is the money JPM earns from its more
esoteric activities, mostly involving derivatives trading.
Derivatives are contracts that derive their value from
movements in the underlying asset referenced in the
contract. Relatedly, JPM’s second and third largest
individual sources of gross revenue, behind interest
income from loans, are principal transactions and interest
income on trading assets.
Principal transactions is a complicated line item that
includes realized and unrealized gains/losses on
derivatives stemming from market-making services and
private equity investments. It also includes gains/losses
from risk management transactions such as hedging
credit, commodity, and foreign exchange risk. In other
words, this line item seems to be the money JPM makes
when it facilitates a derivatives trade for a client and/or
takes a derivative position for itself to hedge against a
certain type of exposure.
Interest income on trading assets represents the interest
that JPM earns on a variety of fixed-income and derivative
assets that it holds in its trading portfolio. These
instruments include a variety of mortgage-backed
securities (MBS), purchased loans, corporate debt, as well
as a range of credit, foreign exchange, equity, and
commodity derivatives receivable. From 2011-2015,
principal transactions and interest income on trading
assets averaged 9% and 8% of total gross revenue,
respectively. Put differently, 17% of JPM’s revenue comes
from complex banking.
Investment banking represents the fees JPM makes when
it underwrites a debt or equity offering or advises a
company on M&A, restructuring, etc. Investment banking
has averaged 6% of JPM gross revenue the past five years.
AM fees and commissions includes AM fees,
administration fees, brokerage commissions, and all other
commissions and fees. Mostly simply, AM fees and
commissions represents the money JPM collects for
managing investor money – about 14% of gross revenue,
on average, for the past five years.
Other banking includes other income and interest income
on other assets. We also grouped securities gains (losses)
and interest income on securities in this category. While
investing in certain securities, broadly speaking, is a
traditional banking operation, some types of securities
JPM earns gains (losses) and/or interest income from are
much more complex than those in the typical bank
portfolio. For example, collateralized loan obligations
(CLOs), other asset-backed securities (other ABS), and non-
US mortgage-backed securities (foreign MBS) currently
make up 21% of JPM’s $290M securities portfolio. These
are securities that differ greatly from the more standard
US treasuries, muni bonds, agency MBS and investment
grade corporate debt. However, 37% of JPM’s securities
portfolio does consist of such securities. Thus, we did not
feel confident labeling JPM’s securities activity as complex
either. In short, some of JPM’s AFS and HTM securities
were too esoteric for us to consider activities pertaining to
them traditional. Yet, other securities were too standard
to label related activities complex. Hence, our use of the
other category here. Other banking has averaged 12% of
gross revenue the past five years.
Source: JPM 10K
Moving forward, we expect the general historical
breakdown to remain essentially the same. However, we
do expect slightly more of JPM’s total revenue to come
from traditional banking. This expectation is based on two
factors: (1) as rates normalize, JPM will make more loans
and churn more interest income from such loans; (2)
continued phase-in of various regulations (i.e., Dodd
Frank, Basel III, etc.) will tilt banks toward more
conventional income streams.

Income and Profitability
Now that we have examined JPM’s sources of revenue, we
turn to how much money JPM actually makes. JPM does
not report gross revenue but it can be calculated easily by
adding non-interest revenue and total interest income.
Gross revenue stood at $101B for FY2015 but has declined
from 2011-2015 at a CAGR of -2.23%. This has been driven
by a steep drop in total interest income, which represents
52% of gross revenue on average. From 2011-2015, total
interest income has fallen from $61B to $51B, or a 16.84%
decrease. Given the interest rate environment of the past
five years, this is unsurprising. However, as rates being to
normalize over the next five years, we expect total interest
income to rebound and grow at a 6.58% CAGR through
2020, fueling a 4.37% gross revenue CAGR in that same
time frame.
In terms of non-interest revenue, it has remained steady
at $50B the past five years, we expect to slightly grow the
next five years at a CAGR of 1.90%. The growth will
primarily come from principal transactions and AM fees.
With principal transactions it is difficult to tie such a
complex line item to a particular economic variable.
Additionally, historical trends were all over the place, such
as a 44% decline in 2012 and an 83% jump in 2013. Thus,
we examined the pace principal transactions was on for
2016, based on performance through Q2, and tied our
projections to that. Specifically, principal transactions is on
pace to grow 5-6% this year relative to 2015. Accordingly,
we set a growth rate of 5% through 2020. As for AM fees,
while some fee compression is likely to occur due to the
competitive environment in the space, such compression
will be more than offset by growth in assets under
management (AUM). Specifically, we expect the AM fee
ratio (i.e., AM fees/avg. AUM) to decline from an average
of 5.55 from 2011-2015 to an average of 5.34 for 2016-
2020 and AUM to grow at a 4.57% CAGR. This growth in
AUM expectation is based on JPM’s continued investment
and expansion of AM, such as its recent business license to
operate in China.v
JPM does report net revenue, which is gross revenue
netted for interest expense. Within this, net interest
income (i.e., total interest income- interest expense), has
decreased from $48B to $44B from 2011-2015, or a decline
of 8.88%. However, it has remained steady in the $43B to
$44B range the past three years. Net interest income has
not fallen as rapidly as total interest income because
interest expenses have also been effected by the low rate
environment. In other words, while interest income has
been suppressed, interest expenses have lessened even
further, leading to a less steep fall in net interest income
relative to total interest income. Given that we expect at
least one 25 bps rate hike this year, and another three to
five over the next four years, we foresee net interest
income increasing at a five-year CAGR of 5.44%.
Interest income from loans is JPM’s biggest source of
revenue overall, typically representing 33% of gross
revenue. Interest income is the yield JPM earns on loans it
has made to consumers and commercial borrowers. We
calculate this yield via dividing a given year’s interest
income by the average loan volume for that year. But, JPM,
as every bank, adjusts its average interest earning assets,
accounts for tax distinctions among its securities, and
ultimately reports its interest income yields (and NIM, see
below) on a managed basis. While we would prefer to
calculate, and forecast, such measurements in a manner
consistent with JPM, we do not have enough information
to do so. In other words, we are unclear on JPM’s
methodology in this regard and are inclined to use a strictly
GAAP basis for our calculations. Thus, interest income and
interest margin related figures we discuss (and forecast)
will differ from what JPM reports in its annual filings. All
that said, JPM’s interest income yield, as we measure it,
has declined each of the past five years, falling to 4.23% in
2015. We expect this trend to turnaround, given the
anticipated normalization of rates, and we forecast loan
interest income yields in the 4.40% to 4.50% range from
2016-2020.
Net interest margin (NIM) is a key measure of profitability
for banks. It measures the spread a bank captures between
its borrowing costs and interest revenue. Generally, NIM is
Page 5
calculated via dividing net interest income by average
interest earning assets. Again, we do this in a GAAP basis
and JPM does it on a managed basis. JPM’s interest
earning assets include: loans, securities, trading assets,
federal funds sold, securities borrowed, deposits with
other banks, and other assets. Post-financial crisis
monetary policy has squeezed NIM across the bank
industry. However, the Fed began normalizing rates in
2015, and we expect this process – albeit gradually and
cautiously – to continue at least through 2020. As
discussed above, interest rate moves tend to favor the
income side, relative to the borrowing side. Accordingly,
we expect JPM’s NIM to jump from 1.88% in 2014 and
2015, to 2% this year, and reach as high as 2.11% in 2019.

Balance Sheet Part I: Assets
As noted above, JPM has become the largest bank in the
US, in terms of assets, via a combination of acquisitions
and organic growth. As of 2Q FY2016, JPM stood at $2.47T
assets, however management has indicated that they
expect to end FY2016 closer to $2.45T.vi
From 2011-2015,
total assets grew at an average rate of 1.11% but that
figure is skewed by an 8.61% drop in 2015. Once adjusted
for that outlier, JPM’s assets grew at an average rate of
4.34%. Using management guidance as a starting point, we
expect JPM total assets to grow at an average rate of
4.58% from 2016-2020. Thus, we foresee JPM’s total
assets to reach $2.94T in 2020.
Source: JPM 10K; model projections
Loans represent JPM’s largest asset, averaging 31% of the
total balance sheet the past five years. This line item
includes wholesale, consumer, and credit card loans.
Trading assets, the portfolio of wide-ranging financial
instruments, is the next largest, at 17%. Securities, which
includes a combination of traditional and esoteric fixed-
income investments, makes up 14% of the balance sheet.
Items such as cash, deposits with banks, and federal funds
sold represent JPM’s cash and excess reserves that it holds
itself, with other banks, and/or with the Federal Reserve.
Combined such assets represent about a quarter, or 23%
of JPM’s balance sheet. Other includes net PP&E,
intangibles, accounts receivable, goodwill and other
assets.
Source: JPM 10K
As noted above, we believe more of JPM’s revenue will
come from traditional banking moving forward.
Accordingly, we project the balance sheet to reflect this
shift. More specifically, we expect the percentage of loans
to increase by 6.50% and trading assets and securities to
decrease by 3%.
Page 6
Source: Model projections
This forecast is based on three factors: (1) regulatory costs
pertaining to complex assets; (2) recent trends in JPM’s
balance sheet; (3) loan growth expectations.
We believe the anticipated rise in regulatory costs for
investing in complex assets will cause JPM to trim such
holdings. For example, Title VII of Dodd Frank and the
European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), both
of which add clearing and reporting requirements to
certain over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trades, are still
being implemented.vii
In other words, many OTC
derivatives that were historically traded bilaterally without
an exchange or data repository will now have to be cleared
and reported, increasing the costs of such trades.
Relatedly, Basel III, which increases capital costs for riskier
assets, continues to be phased-in and will contribute to a
regulatory environment that disfavors a large portion of
complex assets on the balance sheet.
Additionally, recent trends in JPM’s balance sheet further
support our future expectations. Trading assets and
securities, as percentages of total assets, have dipped
from 20% and 16% in 2011 to 15% and 12% in 2015,
respectively. Moreover, in 2015 loans jumped to 35% of
total assets, relative to 30% the preceding four years. Thus,
it seems that the shift toward traditional banking that we
are predicting is already underway.
Thirdly, we believe JPM will demonstrate continued loan
growth. Starting with 2016, based on performance
through 2Q and management guidance, we assume loan
growth of 7.5% for the year. From there we expect loans
to grow at an average rate of 6.50% through 2020.
Source: JPM 10K; model projections
Our assumptions regarding loan growth are based on a
host of economic variables. Such variables are discussed in
the Economic Outlook below.
It is also worth noting the credit quality of JPM’s loans.
JPM’s credit quality can be examined through two metrics:
(1) provision for credit losses (PCL) and (2) allowance for
loan losses (ALL). ALL is a balance sheet contra-account
that represents reserves JPM keeps for losses arising from
bad loans and PCL is an income statement expense that is
used to sustain the ALL.viii
In other words, each quarter
JPM takes a slice of its net income (PCL expense) and adds
that money to a sort of rainy day fund for loans that go bad
(ALL account).
PCL as a percentage of average gross loans outstanding
(PCL ratio), has averaged 0.35% in the more prudent post-
financial crisis era of 2011-2015. In 2016, this ratio is
expected to jump to 0.75% due to JPM’s oil and gas
exposure. JPM’s total oil and gas exposure currently
represents only 4.5% of total loans, and this increase in PCL
is seemingly driven by only a single name in the oil and gas
portfolio.ix
On the one hand, it is unclear whether the
worst is behind the oil and gas industry. On the other, JPM
seems to be managing its exposure to the oil and gas
industry carefully. Thus, we projected an average PCL ratio
of 0.45% through 2020 – not as low as the 2011-2015
average but not as high as the 2016 spike either.
Similarly, ALL as a percentage of gross loans outstanding
(ALL ratio), which built up during the financial crisis has
been decreasing ever since. It dropped from 5% in 2009 to
1.62% in 2015. But, again due to oil and gas industry
strains, the ALL ratio is on pace to rise to 1.75% for 2016.
Beyond that, we expect the ALL ratio to average a slightly
higher 1.87% through 2020. This higher figure is due to our
Page 7
forecasted PCL ratio, discussed above. In other words, as
we expect JPM to record slightly higher PCL expenses, the
ALL reserve will increase too.
Balance Sheet Part II: Liabilities and Equity
As a bank, JPM primarily finances its assets through
various forms of borrowing. More specifically, deposits,
short-term debt (i.e., commercial paper, federal funds
purchased, accounts payable, etc.), and long-term debt
(i.e., FHLB advances, bonds, etc.). Among these sources,
the breakdown, as a percentage of total assets, tends to
be 54%, 17%, and 12% respectively. Given the historical
stability of JPM’s borrowing composition, we kept
essentially the same breakdown for our forecasts.
Since JPM can only invest and lend out what it can bring in,
its asset growth must be in line with its funding growth.
Accordingly, as deposits represent much of JPM’s funding,
we anticipate a 4.76% five-year deposits CAGR. We
projected the remaining borrowing sources as a
percentage of beginning total liabilities, as there were
consistent historical patterns in that regard. For example,
long-term debt as a percentage of beginning liabilities has
been right around 12% each of the past five years, thus we
forecasted it in the 12-13% range going forward.
There is one other liability item that does not represent a
funding source: trading liabilities, which tends to
represent 6.50% of beginning liabilities. This is essentially
the opposite side of the trading assets account discussed
above. Given the complexities associated with this
account, and the consistency in its historical proportion,
we kept it at 7% of beginning liabilities through 2020.
While borrowing, in large part, dictates how much JPM can
lend and invest, there is another controlling factor:
regulation. As a bank holding company, JPM is governed
by the Federal Reserve, and in turn the Basel Accords.
While Basel is a set of international guidelines, the Fed has
decided to use Basel, along with Dodd-Frank, to establish
capital requirements for US banks within its jurisdiction.
Capital requirements mean that JPM must finance its
assets with a minimum level of equity. Additionally, as a
designated Global Systemically Important Financial
Institutions (G-SIFI), JPM must use even more equity
financing than most banks.
The amount of equity financing necessary hinges on the
type of residual claim such equity represents. There are
various categories such as Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1),
Tier 1, Tier 2, Total Capital, etc. Each category is the
numerator for the various capital ratios JPM is required to
meet. The denominator consists of the assets being
financed. And the ratio required depends on the asset’s
perceived riskiness. Accordingly, JPM must assign a risk-
weight to each of its assets, known as RWAs (i.e., CET1
ratio = CET1/RWA). Because RWAs are measured
internally, and are not disclosed to the public, we have no
way of estimating or projecting JPM’s RWA capital ratios.
However, all is not lost in forecasting JPM’s capitalization
as there is one Basel capital ratio we can approximate.
Specifically, the Tier 1 leverage ratio uses Tier 1 Capital as
the numerator and does not have a risk-weighted
denominator. Tier 1 Capital can be estimated by adding
common stock and preferred stock, then subtracting
goodwill and other intangibles. There are other
adjustments that are not defined in JPM’s 10K, but such
changes are not large enough to prevent us from making a
decent estimation. To be considered well-capitalized JPM
must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 6%.x
JPM has been
above that threshold each of the past five years, and even
surpassed 8% in 2015. We expect JPM’s Tier 1 leverage
ratio to continue its upward trajectory and approach
9.50% by 2020.
Source: JPM 10K; model projections
This expectation makes sense, as Basel III continues to be
phased in JPM will need use higher levels of equity to
finance its operations. What this means for JPM’s
profitability going forward is less clear. While more equity
will undoubtedly provide a nice cushion in case of a
financial downturn, it also poses potential investment
issues. Specifically, as JPM’s equity base grows, so does its
return on equity (ROE) denominator. And if net income,
the ROE numerator, does not outpace this growth, then
JPM’s ROE will start to decrease and potentially be unable
Page 8
to exceed its cost of equity. In fact, by 2020, we forecast
an ROE of 8.54% relative to a cost of equity of 8.58%. This
is certainly concerning from our perspective and
something we must consider in our evaluation of JPM
stock.
Balance Sheet Part III: Accounting Labyrinth
JPM records 27% (or $625B) of its assets at fair value. Fair
value is the price an asset could fetch in its market at the
date of its valuation. There are three levels of fair value:
Level One - quoted prices exist for identical
assets/liabilities in active markets (i.e., shares traded on a
public exchange); Level Two – quoted prices exist for
similar assets/liabilities in active markets and model inputs
are observable either directly or indirectly; Level Three –
one or more inputs are unobservable and significant to the
valuation.xi
Level Two would involve complex modeling
using available and relevant data, and could be considered
analogous to an educated guess. Level Three, which, by
definition, estimates items that cannot be observed,
would involve even more complex modeling with
unavailable data, and could be described as an uneducated
guess.xii
In fact, Level Three assets, even in a stable market,
can be off by as much as 15% - and likely much more in a
panic market.xiii
As of FY2015, JPM had $180B in Level One assets, $415B in
Level Two, and $31B in Level Three.
Source: JPM 10K
However, from 2014 to 2015 $18B in Level Three assets
were moved to Level Two due to increases in observability
in certain inputs and decreases in significance in other
unobservable inputs.xiv
In other words, JPM cut its Level
Three assets by 40% based on its view of how observable
an input was and/or how significant it judged another
input to be. If assets can be moved back and forth between
Levels Two and Three so seemingly effortlessly, the line
separating educated and uneducated guess becomes
blurrier – and the associated value(s) less reliable.
Moreover, JPM records $60B and $9B in Level Two and
Level Three liabilities, respectively. However, that is after
netting out $890B in derivatives obligations. While netting
money owed against offsetting money to be received
under derivatives contracts is commonplace under GAAP,
and on some level makes economic sense, it does not
mean the net exposure is the true exposure. Put
differently, if things go haywire – such as several countries
leaving the EU, an unexpected sovereign/large corporate
default, or large foreign exchange rate swing – then the
amount a party owes under a derivatives contract could
drastically exceed the net obligation. In short, if everything
goes as expected JPM only owes $70B in derivatives
payable, but if not, JPM could potentially be on the hook
for much more. Scarily, if JPM had to pay out even 25% of
its notional derivatives liability, that could be enough to
wipe out JPM’s SH equity entirely.
Beyond the uncertainties with fair value and derivatives
exposure, as of FY2015 JPM had another $940B in off-
balance sheet (OBS) exposure. This would mean that JPM’s
true size is closer to $3.3T. Additionally, this would mean
JPM is far more levered than the on-balance sheet
leverage ratios would suggest. Basel III contemplated this
exact scenario, and came up with the supplementary
leverage ratio (SLR) to adjust for OBS exposures. The SLR is
essentially Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets
and OBS exposures. Beginning in 2018, JPM will be
required to maintain a 5% SLR. As of FY15, JPM estimates
its SLR to be 6.5%, which is above the minimum but still a
low figure. It is unlikely that many shareholders would
want their equity investment levered upwards of 15x.
Also, JPM excludes obligations under structured notes that
are based on the performance of such notes from its total
exposures. In other words, based on the current
performance of the note, JPM estimates that it does not
owe anything. However, it does not discuss what it may
owe if that performance changes or turns against JPM. The
reason for this could be that JPM views the obligations as
relatively small in isolation, but it is plausible that they add
up in the aggregate.
Even the brightest person or the most powerful
supercomputer cannot perfectly evaluate the intricate
web of uncertainty embedded in JPM’s complex
Page 9
transactions. At some point, especially when using
unobservable inputs, the upper limits of human cognition
and computer processing can only stretch so far. Thus, we
are unsure how confident we can be in the value of JPM’s
assets and what its total exposure to losses truly is –
especially in a turbulent market.
COMPANY EARNINGS
Recent Performance
Over the past year, JPM has displayed a strong earnings
performance. Specifically, FY2015 EPS, on both a basic and
diluted basis, grew by 13.4% relative to FY2014, beating
analysts’ estimates of diluted EPS by 2%.xv
Moreover, JPM
has surpassed analysts’ expectations in each of the past six
quarters – most recently posting a 13-cent surprise ($1.55
vs. $1.42) in Q2 of 2016.
Source: FactSet
We should note that JPM’s management does not guide
EPS per se, but it does give guidance for net interest
income, non-interest revenue, and total assets.
Additionally, while FY2015 was strong and the first half of
2016 has exceeded expectations, JPM’s FY2016 EPS is
expected to decline on year-over-year (YOY) basis. More
specifically, we expect FY2016 basic EPS to be $5.93
relative to $6.05 and analysts foresee diluted EPS declining
from $6.00 to $5.63.
Moving forward, we project basic EPS to grow at a 5.2%
CAGR from 2016-2020, relative to the 7.7% pace from
2011-2015. While this may seem pessimistic, our net
income forecasts are $1B higher than analysts’ estimates
for 2016 and 2017. Most of this relatively small difference
comes from lower tax expenses and higher net interest
income eon our end. In other words, analysts use a slightly
higher marginal tax rate than we do and we expect a
moderately friendlier rate environment. Unfortunately,
analysts only predict diluted EPS and our model forecasts
basic EPS, thus we are unable to make an apples-to-apples
comparison here.
Overall, JPM’s earnings the past six quarters have been
impressive, and while we all expect a slight dip for 2016,
we believe JPM will rebound in 2017 at a solid 5% pace
through 2020.
INDUSTRY THEMES
JPM is part of the Financials Sector, and the Diversified
Banks sub-industry. Diversified Banks is made up of the six
largest US banks and the five largest Canadian banks, by
asset size. The US Diversified Banks include JPM, Bank of
America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, US Bancorp, and PNC
Financial Services.
Risky Business?
Since the financial crisis, a host of new regulations have
been introduced with the intent of making the banking
industry safer. The most significant reforms include Dodd-
Frank and Basel III, both of which were discussed earlier
(see Balance Sheet Part I and Part II, under Company
Description). The goal of these regulations is to reduce the
riskiness in the industry that exacerbated the financial
crisis.
It would seem then, as banks become better capitalized
and risky activities increase in cost, that the overall
industry is safer relative to the pre-crisis era. However,
recent data indicates that this may not be the case. In fact,
the opposite may be occurring and banks may be riskier
now than before the crisis. Specifically, risk measures
including various volatility metrics, credit default swap
(CDS) spreads, systemic risk percentage (SRISK), etc. all
paint an uneasy picture about the safety of today’s large
banks.xvi

Preferred stock price 24.91 20.15 20.74
SRISK% 5.76 10.44 10.18
Page 10
The metrics in the above table pertain to four of the six
Diversified Banks: JPM, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and
Citi, as well as two other financial conglomerates:
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. For every measure in
the table, other than preferred stock, a higher number
means more risk. As for preferred stock, because of its
debt-like features, a lower yield and higher price would
suggest less risk.xvii
Especially in the post-crisis low rate
environment, a less risky bank should have more
expensive preferred shares than before the crisis.
Unfortunately, the opposite has occurred.
Moreover, both historical and implied volatility, even
when adjusted for the broader market, are higher since
the crisis – although 2015 did show a slight downtick.
Given that it was created in 2016, SRISK may jump out as a
novel concept. Essentially, it attempts to define risk by the
likely size of a firm’s contribution to a system-wide
failure.xviii
It contains three inputs: (1) real social cost of a
crisis per dollar of capital shortage; (2) probability of a
crisis; and (3) expected capital shortfall of the firm in such
crisis.xix
In short, SRISK is the capital a firm would need to
survive a financial crisis similar to that of 2008-2009. Thus,
it appears that the six banks delineated above, on, need
more capital to withstand a crisis today than they did in
2008-2009 – meaning they pose a riskier investment.
The conventional wisdom after the crisis was that
investors in bank shares would sacrifice profitability in
favor of reduced risk. However, an investment with lower
profit and higher risk is much less appealing. In light of this,
it will be interesting to see how the industry evolves going
forward.
MARKETS AND COMPETITION
As a large conglomerate, JPM competes with a wide range
of financial institutions. Most directly, it competes with
the other five Diversified Banks in the US mentioned
above. JPM also competes with large investment banks
such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc., and
European counterparts Barclays, UBS, etc. Lastly, JPM
competes with asset managers such as BlackRock and
Vanguard.
The six Diversified Banks dominate the $705B US
commercial banking market, earning 50% of all FDIC-
insured bank revenue.xx
JPM alone accounts for 13.5% of
such revenue. This indicates a high level of concentration
in the banking industry, with JPM leading the way.
Another way to examine the bank industry is through
share of deposits. There are currently 6,122 FDIC-insured
banks in the US, but the six Diversified Banks hold 41% of
all domestic deposits. This further illustrates the
concentration in the banking world. And again, JPM ranks
quite well here, less than 1% away from the top spot.
Source: Card Hub; FDIC
Given the high level of concentration and the relative
commoditization of commercial banking products, banks
must compete on price in this space. Accordingly, we
project a decrease in JPM’s lending and deposit related
fees line item at 1.05% a year through 2020.
The above data all relates to the traditional operations of
JPM. To understand its market position within the
investment banking realm, we examine fee revenue. This
makes sense because investment banking is almost
entirely a fee driven business. The investment banking
industry is also highly concentrated as the top five firms
earned 30% of the $89B in 2015 investment banking
fees.xxi
These five firms include three Diversified Banks
(JPM, Bank of America, Citi) and two investment banks
(Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley).
Page 11
Source: Financial Times; Thomson Reuters
As seems to be the pattern, JPM shows up at the top in this
market as well. However, this stream of money is declining
for JPM and the industry overall. More specifically, global
investment banking revenue fell 6% in 2015 and is down
21% YOY through 2Q 2016. In other words, the pie for an
already competitive industry is shrinking, which will lead
to further price competition moving forward. Hence, the
fee compression we embedded in our model – in
particular, we do not expect JPM to reach its 2015 level in
investment banking fees again until 2020.
In terms of asset management, this is an area JPM is not at
or very near the top. Asset management is a $16T market
of firms that manage various pools of capital.xxii
It is a
service based business model that hinges on fee pricing
and performance results. Whereas an investment banker
is paid a fee for closing a deal, an asset manager will collect
a fee to manage the assets and may also collect additional
compensation based on performance.
Source: S&P Capital
As can be seen from the table above, JPM ranks sixth in
AUM among asset managers – respectable but certainly
there is room for improvement. Also, the story of
concentration among financial activities applies here as
well: BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street manage 61%
of all the assets in this market. However, while price
competition is fierce, firms also try to compete on product
differentiation here. In other words, firms attempt to offer
superior strategies and unique products at a lower price.
For example, new ETFs that use more institutional
strategies (i.e., long/short equity) but are available to retail
investors. Our expectations regarding JPM’s asset
management division have been outlined in earlier
sections.
Peer Comparisons
We limited JPM’s peer group as other firms that offer
similar products and services along the banking spectrum.
For example, asset managers were not included because
they are more limited in scope but investment banks such
as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were because they
compete with JPM across various areas. Thus, this peer
group includes the other five US Diversified Banks – Bank
of America (BAC), Citi (C), US Bank (USB), and Wells Fargo
(WFC) – along with Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan
Stanley (MS).
Page 12
Source: FactSet; Yahoo! Finance
The above table paints a mixed picture about JPM’s
performance relative to its peers. For example, using
standard bank profitability measures, ROA, ROE, and NIM,
JPM is more profitable than some peers but less profitable
than others. Additionally, using PCL and ALL ratios as a
benchmark, JPM is a more prudent lender than some of its
competitors but less prudent than others. It is noteworthy
that JPM is by far the most levered Diversified Bank – 23%
more levered than the next closest, BAC. Being the largest
bank and the most levered is a combination that is unlikely
to appeal to investors and regulators alike due to the risk
and regulatory implications discussed previously (see
Industry Trends).
The market seems to be telling an interesting Price-to-
Book (P/B) story. On the one hand, USB and WFC are
trading at decent premiums relative to their book value.
On the other, BAC, C, GS, and MS are all trading at
discounts relative to their book value. JPM and PNC are
right in between and are trading at slightly above book
value. For the banks trading at a discount, this indicates
that the market is not confident in the prospects of their
stocks. It is typically not a good sign when the market
values a company’s equity below its book value. Some of
this market view may stem from uncertainty regarding
these banks’ accounting, apprehension about their ability
to generate a ROE that exceeds cost of equity, and
discomfort with their post-crisis risk profile. What this
means for JPM is unclear – given its P/B ratio, the market
seems somewhat secure in JPM’s performance, but not
enough to attach a solid premium to its equity value.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Bank performance largely hinges the state of the overall
economy. For JPM, with a 75%/25% US/international
breakdown for both revenues and assets, the US economy
is the most important and the global economy is
secondary. Key variables such as interest rates, GDP,
consumer confidence, housing, commercial real estate,
the labor market, all fuel lending – JPM’s bread and butter.
Therefore, this section will focus on such metrics,
domestically, with some consideration of global factors.
Rates
The Federal Reserve raised rates for the first time since the
financial crisis last December. In our September Economic
Outlook, we forecasted another 25 bps rate hike this year
and another two to three 25 bps rate hikes through 2018.
From there, we could see anywhere from zero to two more
25 bps rate hikes through 2020. These expectations are
based on the Fed’s cautious tone, and indications that rate
normalization will be a slow and steady process. However,
we should note that the Bank of Japan and the European
Central Bank continue to ease their monetary policy, with
Japan even veering into negative rate territory. Thus,
despite our domestic rates rising, there could be a spillover
effect from abroad that negatively impacts JPM’s loan
yields. Since 90% of JPM’s loan portfolio is domestic we do
not expect this to directly impact JPM’s interest income
and margins, but the potential for indirect impact is
something we will watch closely. Overall though, we
expect the future rate environment to be favorable for
JPM’s business as discussed throughout the Company
Description.
GDP
On the most macro-level, economists expect real US GDP
and real global GDP to grow at approximately 2%-2.50%
and 3%-3.50%, respectively over the next three years.xxiii
We foresee similar growth domestically, as our September
Economic Outlook produced a median two-year real US
GDP of 2.3%. In other words, the post-crisis status quo of
sluggish growth is likely to endure. Such expectations
support our case for very gradual and modest rate hikes,
and in turn, the moderate increases in JPM’s interest
income and margins.

Consumer Confidence
A more confident consumer is a more willing borrower,
and thus better for JPM’s business. In August, consumer
confidence in the US reached an 11-month high, as the
index hit 101.1.xxiv
Additionally, global consumer
confidence, as measured by Nielsen, is also trending
positive.xxv
Specifically, it was at 98 for Q2 2016, up two
points YOY. We expect these trends to continue as GDP
remains positive (see above) and the labor market
strengthens even further (see below). Consumer loans and
credit cards make up 57% of JPM’s loan portfolio. Thus, we
foresee a consumer better positioned to borrow over the
next four years, contributing to JPM’s loan growth
highlighted in the Company Description.
Labor Market
This summer the US unemployment rate fell below 5% for
the first time since before the Great Recession. Our two-
year forecast produced a median unemployment rate of
4.8%. In other words, the US labor market has rebounded
well from the crisis and we expect that to continue. In fact,
the labor market hast tightened so much in the past year
or so, that it is starting to flow through to wages and
income. In fact, median household income grew 5.2% YOY
in 2015, the largest jump since 2007.xxvi
This is crucial for
consumer confidence, and in turn bank lending, because
as people start to earn more money they will be more
confident, and more likely to spend and borrow more.
In terms of global unemployment, it stood at 5.8% for
2015, down from 6.2% in 2009.xxvii
xxviii
However, while the rate
is expected to stay steady, the number of unemployed
people globally is expected to rise, at least through
2017. In short, the global labor market picture is
murkier than the US, but since JPM’s loans are so
domestically concentrated we expect the optimistic US
labor market outlook to outweigh the murky global one.
Real Estate
Commercial and residential real estate loans represent
36% of JPM’s loan portfolio. Accordingly, forecasted US
housing starts and US commercial property starts are the
main variables for predicting the domestic real estate
lending environment for JPM. Housing starts are expected
to increase at a three-year CAGR of 9.1% through
2018.xxix
Additionally, commercial real estate
establishments are projected to grow at a five-year CAGR
of 1.50% through 2020.xxx
There are no analogous
forecasts for international real estate, although through
3Q 2015 global direct property investment was up 11%
YOY.xxxi
This suggests that the international real estate
market is also trending up. All of this data indicates a
strong real estate lending market, and as such supports
our loan growth expectations for JPM.
In sum, solid to strong economic fundamentals will
continue through our forecast period. This economic view
contributes to our belief that JPM will grow at a reasonable
pace. Specifically, our model grows JPM’s assets at a 4.58%
CAGR, slightly higher than the historical 4.34%.
VALUATION
JPM currently trades at a market price of $65.82, and our
models (all dated 9/2/2016) produce a range of values
from $69.51 to $75.01. In considering these models
collectively, we assign a $70 price target for JPM,
indicating 6% in upside potential. Hence, our HOLD
recommendation.
Projections already covered: Our predictions and
underlying reasoning for all key balance sheet and income
statement items have been explained at length
throughout this report, namely in the Company
Description and Economic Outlook. Also, any line items not
discussed are too minor to warrant attention. Thus, we will
not expound on any additional projections here.
Risk premium: The Henry Fund consensus is 5%.
Beta: We used a Beta of 1.26 because this was the median
of the weekly Betas over the last 10 years, as calculated by
Bloomberg.
CV growth: We believe long-term nominal US GDP will be
about 3.50%-4.00% and nominal global GDP about 5.00%-
5.50%. Thus, we set JPM’s CV growth rate at 3% since we
do not expect it to outgrow the US nor the global
economy. Considering US and global nominal GDP is
appropriate here because JPM has both domestic and
international operations.
Free Cash Flow to Equity and Equity Economic Profit:
These models account for the fact that banks make money
off both sides of the balance sheet. The formal approach
(Formal FCFE), focuses on uses and sources of cash. The
simple approach focuses on the total change in assets and
liabilities and equity economic profit focuses on the
Page 14
relationship between ROE and cost of equity – since both
approaches produce the same exact price we refer to
them collectively as Simple FCFE/EEP. The Formal FCFE
produces a price of $73.32 and the Simple FCFE/EEP
produces a price of $69.66. The difference between the
two prices appears to be driven by the fact that Formal
FCFE adds back the PCL expense, increasing its projected
cash flows relative to the Simple FCFE/EEP.
DDM: The DDM produced a price of $69.51, about the
same as the Simple FCFE/EEP number and about 5% lower
than Formal FCFE. This likely stems from slightly higher
Formal FCFE growth projections relative to dividend
growth projections. We do expect JPM to increase its
dividend payout ratio moving forward. Specifically, the
payout ratio has averaged 30% the past three years and
we expect it to approach 35% by 2020. Our reasoning is
that as JPM becomes better capitalized and generates
more cash it will look to distribute it to its shareholders
accordingly.
Relative valuation: As a bank, price-to-book (P/B) is the
most appropriate relative valuation model here. Relative
P/B (BV16) produces a price of $75.01, the highest of all
our models. However, this number is skewed a bit high by
two outliers. Specifically, Wells Fargo and US Bank have
2016 P/B ratios of 1.40 and 1.80. respectively. This is .40-
.80 higher than the next closest P/B ratio. If these two
banks are removed from the average, the Relative P/B
(BV16) produces a price of $58.98 – quite the difference.
Thus, we view $75.01 to be an optimistically tilted price.
The peer group used to arrive at the P/B multiple and our
interpretation of both industry and JPM P/B was discussed
in the Markets and Competition section above.
Model evaluation: We considered all the models in
determining our target price. As noted above, the relative
valuation was skewed a bit too high at $73, the DDM and
Simple FCFE/EEP produced essentially the same price at
$70, and the Formal FCFE gives a $73 value. Thus, a
reasonable range for JPM’s intrinsic value is likely $69-$74.
We steered toward the lower end of that range to arrive
at our target price of $70.00. This is because, while we like
the outlook of economic fundamentals and JPM’s growth
prospects, we are uncomfortable with the volume of Level
Two and Three assets/liabilities, the OBS exposure, and
JPM’s ROE struggling to exceed its cost of capital.
Sensitivity analysis: We tested the Simple FCFE/EEP price
against several variables, including beta, risk premium,
yields, tax rate, growth rates, etc. In the vast majority of
scenarios, the target price exceeds the current market
price. However, the model does seem to be quite sensitive
to JPM’s beta and the risk-free rate. For example, a beta of
1.39 and a risk-free rate of 2.50% changes the price to $59
– about 16% below our target price and 11% below the
current market price. Such a scenario is quite plausible
since JPM’s 10-year weekly beta was as high as 1.59 and
the 30-year UST surpassed 2.50% every day for the first
five months of this year. Beta is the bigger driver here the
as difference between the highest and lowest numbers
tested produces upwards of a $45 range, holding risk-free
rate constant. Risk-free rate on the other hand only
changes by $23 at most, holding beta constant. This tells
us that while our model is fairly robust, JPM’s value is very
sensitive to volatility.
Henry Fund vs. other analysts: Our EPS and net income
projections relative to analyst estimates was analyzed in
the Recent Development sections. The mean one-year
target price among analysts is $70.56 – almost exactly the
same as our current target price. It is likely that both us
and the sell-side analysts are viewing JPM’s story similarly:
solid growth prospects but risk concerns too.
REASONS TO SELL
• The $515B in complex Level Two and Three assets
and liabilities, and/or the $940 in OBS exposure
become a material risk to JPM’s capitalization.
• JPM’s average ROE over the past five years of
9.16% barely surpasses its 8.58% cost of equity,
further downward pressure in this regard could
make JPM an unattractive investment
• The expected post-crisis trade-off of less profit for
less risk, may actually have been less profit for
more risk given increases in JPM’s CDS spreads (up
80 bps), implied volatility (up 20%), and beta (up
.10). If this trend continues, JPM may be too risky
to hold.
• JPM’s current P/B of 1.05 indicates that the
market views JPM’s equity as just above its book
value, and perhaps a lack of confidence regarding
JPM’s prospects.
Ultimately, we are optimistic about the overall economy
and its effect on JPM’s business. And while we believe JPM
should provide 6% upside, we have concerns about its risk
profile and its ability to generate an ROE that exceeds cost
of equity. Thus, we recommend a HOLD.

  • 1. The Henry Fund Henry B. Tippie School of Management Husam Atari [husam-atari@uiowa.edu] JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) September 16, 2016 Financial Services – Diversified Banks Stock Rating Hold Investment Thesis Target Price $70.00 We recommend a HOLD for JPMorgan Chase & CO. (JPM). On the one hand, JPM has outperformed analyst expectations the past six quarters, should be spurred by a stronger broader economy, and is a dominant player in the commercial and investment banking spaces. On the other, JPM may be riskier than it was before the financial crisis, faces a regulatory environment that will strain its return on equity, and holds a high volume of complex assets/liabilities – both on and off its balance sheet. Thus, while our models indicate JPM is currently undervalued by 6%, we are cautious about the headwinds mentioned. Drivers: • In each of the past six quarters, JPM has beat consensus EPS estimates by an average of 12 cents (or 9%) per quarter. • Real national and global GDP should continue to grow at 2% and 3%, respectively, fostering 4.58% CAGR for JPM’s assets through 2020, higher than its historical 4.34% CAGR. • The Fed will implement four to six more 25 bps rate hikes through 2020, helping JPM increase its net interest income at a 5.44% five-year CAGR and improve its GAAP-basis net interest margin by 23 bps. • JPM is the market leader in commercial and investment banking, earning 13.5% of all FDIC-insured bank revenue and 7% of all global investment banking fees. Risks: • JPM has $515B in complex and difficult to value assets and liabilities, as well as $940B in off-balance sheet exposures, which could present material financial risk if such items are mispriced and/or underestimated. • Due to regulations requiring JPM to increase its levels of equity, its return on equity of 8.54% in 2020 will fail to exceed its cost of equity of 8.58%. • Based on recently released data, JPM may be riskier now than it was before the financial crisis as risk metrics such as its volatility, beta, CDS spread, etc. have all increased.

  • 2. Page 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We expect the national and global economies strengthen even further in the coming years, which will help JPM’s growth prospects. Specifically, we foresee continued rate hikes, higher consumer confidence, tighter labor markets, and increased residential and commercial real estate development. Consequently, JPM’s five-year story is one of sturdy growth at 4.58%, compounded annually, for assets, 6.50% for loans, and 5.44% for net interest income. These growth assumptions drive our various financial models which produce intrinsic values ranging from $69.51 to $75.01 and, in turn, our $70 target price. Given that JPM currently trades at $65.82, it is undervalued by 6.%. However, despite this growth story and slight upside, we are only recommending a HOLD because we are concerned about JPM’s risk profile and ability to incur new regulatory costs without sacrificing too much profit. In particular, JPM has a host of complex assets and liabilities on and off its balance sheet which could adversely affect its growth. Also per a variety of metrics, JPM may not have reduced its risk since the financial crisis – despite adhering to a host of new regulations. Moreover, due to even further regulations, JPM’s return on equity is on a trajectory to fall short of its cost of equity by 2020. Ultimately, an investment in JPM comes with solid growth potential, as well as unique risks. The combination of which suggests it is close to fairly valued at its current price. COMPANY DESCRIPTION JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) is a financial conglomerate and bank holding company. JPM operates in 60+ countries, employs over 240,000 people and has approximately 5,366 branches worldwide.i Through Fiscal Year 2015, JPM was the world’s seventh largest bank, as well as the largest bank in the US, in terms of asset size ($2.41T at the end of FY2015).ii JPM achieved this stature through a series of mergers and acquisitions of various banks and financial companies. Two of which are particularly noteworthy. The 2000 merger of J.P. Morgan & Co. and Chase Manhattan Corp., a $31B deal that combined two of the top five largest banks in the US at the time and created the JPM umbrella we know today.iii Additionally, the 2004 acquisition of Bank One, a $58B deal that gave JPM a much stronger retail and credit card presence and put Jamie Dimon at the helm as CEO, who is still leading JPM today.iv JPM has four major segments: Consumer and Community Banking (CCB), Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB), Commercial Banking (CB), and Asset Management (AM). JPM also has a Corporate segment, that is a function of its Treasury and Chief Investment Office (CIO). Because of the overlap among departments and the consolidated nature of JPM’s income statement, we did not breakdown our forecasts by segment. Rather we focused on each line item in the balance sheet and income statement. How JPM Makes Money While the business segments highlighted above explain the wide variety of products and services JPM offers, we use different groupings to illustrate how JPM turns such products and services into money. Specifically, five categories that we labeled in the following manner: (1) traditional banking, (2) complex banking, (3) investment banking, (4) AM fees and commissions, and (5) other banking. Traditional banking consists of operations we view as straightforward and relatively common among banks in general. On the non-interest side, this includes lending and deposit-related fees, mortgage fees and card income. On the interest side, this includes interest income from loans, securities borrowed, federal funds sold, and deposits with other banks. The interest side represents the money JPM earns via borrowing at one rate, through deposits and other debt, and lending at another. The non-interest side represents the fees associated with such dealings, as well as credit card issuances. From 2011-2015, traditional banking averaged 51% of JPM’s gross revenue.
  • 3. Page 3 Complex banking is the money JPM earns from its more esoteric activities, mostly involving derivatives trading. Derivatives are contracts that derive their value from movements in the underlying asset referenced in the contract. Relatedly, JPM’s second and third largest individual sources of gross revenue, behind interest income from loans, are principal transactions and interest income on trading assets. Principal transactions is a complicated line item that includes realized and unrealized gains/losses on derivatives stemming from market-making services and private equity investments. It also includes gains/losses from risk management transactions such as hedging credit, commodity, and foreign exchange risk. In other words, this line item seems to be the money JPM makes when it facilitates a derivatives trade for a client and/or takes a derivative position for itself to hedge against a certain type of exposure. Interest income on trading assets represents the interest that JPM earns on a variety of fixed-income and derivative assets that it holds in its trading portfolio. These instruments include a variety of mortgage-backed securities (MBS), purchased loans, corporate debt, as well as a range of credit, foreign exchange, equity, and commodity derivatives receivable. From 2011-2015, principal transactions and interest income on trading assets averaged 9% and 8% of total gross revenue, respectively. Put differently, 17% of JPM’s revenue comes from complex banking. Investment banking represents the fees JPM makes when it underwrites a debt or equity offering or advises a company on M&A, restructuring, etc. Investment banking has averaged 6% of JPM gross revenue the past five years. AM fees and commissions includes AM fees, administration fees, brokerage commissions, and all other commissions and fees. Mostly simply, AM fees and commissions represents the money JPM collects for managing investor money – about 14% of gross revenue, on average, for the past five years. Other banking includes other income and interest income on other assets. We also grouped securities gains (losses) and interest income on securities in this category. While investing in certain securities, broadly speaking, is a traditional banking operation, some types of securities JPM earns gains (losses) and/or interest income from are much more complex than those in the typical bank portfolio. For example, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), other asset-backed securities (other ABS), and non- US mortgage-backed securities (foreign MBS) currently make up 21% of JPM’s $290M securities portfolio. These are securities that differ greatly from the more standard US treasuries, muni bonds, agency MBS and investment grade corporate debt. However, 37% of JPM’s securities portfolio does consist of such securities. Thus, we did not feel confident labeling JPM’s securities activity as complex either. In short, some of JPM’s AFS and HTM securities were too esoteric for us to consider activities pertaining to them traditional. Yet, other securities were too standard to label related activities complex. Hence, our use of the other category here. Other banking has averaged 12% of gross revenue the past five years. Source: JPM 10K Moving forward, we expect the general historical breakdown to remain essentially the same. However, we do expect slightly more of JPM’s total revenue to come from traditional banking. This expectation is based on two factors: (1) as rates normalize, JPM will make more loans and churn more interest income from such loans; (2) continued phase-in of various regulations (i.e., Dodd Frank, Basel III, etc.) will tilt banks toward more conventional income streams.
  • 4. Page 4 Source: Model projections Income and Profitability Now that we have examined JPM’s sources of revenue, we turn to how much money JPM actually makes. JPM does not report gross revenue but it can be calculated easily by adding non-interest revenue and total interest income. Gross revenue stood at $101B for FY2015 but has declined from 2011-2015 at a CAGR of -2.23%. This has been driven by a steep drop in total interest income, which represents 52% of gross revenue on average. From 2011-2015, total interest income has fallen from $61B to $51B, or a 16.84% decrease. Given the interest rate environment of the past five years, this is unsurprising. However, as rates being to normalize over the next five years, we expect total interest income to rebound and grow at a 6.58% CAGR through 2020, fueling a 4.37% gross revenue CAGR in that same time frame. In terms of non-interest revenue, it has remained steady at $50B the past five years, we expect to slightly grow the next five years at a CAGR of 1.90%. The growth will primarily come from principal transactions and AM fees. With principal transactions it is difficult to tie such a complex line item to a particular economic variable. Additionally, historical trends were all over the place, such as a 44% decline in 2012 and an 83% jump in 2013. Thus, we examined the pace principal transactions was on for 2016, based on performance through Q2, and tied our projections to that. Specifically, principal transactions is on pace to grow 5-6% this year relative to 2015. Accordingly, we set a growth rate of 5% through 2020. As for AM fees, while some fee compression is likely to occur due to the competitive environment in the space, such compression will be more than offset by growth in assets under management (AUM). Specifically, we expect the AM fee ratio (i.e., AM fees/avg. AUM) to decline from an average of 5.55 from 2011-2015 to an average of 5.34 for 2016- 2020 and AUM to grow at a 4.57% CAGR. This growth in AUM expectation is based on JPM’s continued investment and expansion of AM, such as its recent business license to operate in China.v JPM does report net revenue, which is gross revenue netted for interest expense. Within this, net interest income (i.e., total interest income- interest expense), has decreased from $48B to $44B from 2011-2015, or a decline of 8.88%. However, it has remained steady in the $43B to $44B range the past three years. Net interest income has not fallen as rapidly as total interest income because interest expenses have also been effected by the low rate environment. In other words, while interest income has been suppressed, interest expenses have lessened even further, leading to a less steep fall in net interest income relative to total interest income. Given that we expect at least one 25 bps rate hike this year, and another three to five over the next four years, we foresee net interest income increasing at a five-year CAGR of 5.44%. Interest income from loans is JPM’s biggest source of revenue overall, typically representing 33% of gross revenue. Interest income is the yield JPM earns on loans it has made to consumers and commercial borrowers. We calculate this yield via dividing a given year’s interest income by the average loan volume for that year. But, JPM, as every bank, adjusts its average interest earning assets, accounts for tax distinctions among its securities, and ultimately reports its interest income yields (and NIM, see below) on a managed basis. While we would prefer to calculate, and forecast, such measurements in a manner consistent with JPM, we do not have enough information to do so. In other words, we are unclear on JPM’s methodology in this regard and are inclined to use a strictly GAAP basis for our calculations. Thus, interest income and interest margin related figures we discuss (and forecast) will differ from what JPM reports in its annual filings. All that said, JPM’s interest income yield, as we measure it, has declined each of the past five years, falling to 4.23% in 2015. We expect this trend to turnaround, given the anticipated normalization of rates, and we forecast loan interest income yields in the 4.40% to 4.50% range from 2016-2020. Net interest margin (NIM) is a key measure of profitability for banks. It measures the spread a bank captures between its borrowing costs and interest revenue. Generally, NIM is
  • 5. Page 5 calculated via dividing net interest income by average interest earning assets. Again, we do this in a GAAP basis and JPM does it on a managed basis. JPM’s interest earning assets include: loans, securities, trading assets, federal funds sold, securities borrowed, deposits with other banks, and other assets. Post-financial crisis monetary policy has squeezed NIM across the bank industry. However, the Fed began normalizing rates in 2015, and we expect this process – albeit gradually and cautiously – to continue at least through 2020. As discussed above, interest rate moves tend to favor the income side, relative to the borrowing side. Accordingly, we expect JPM’s NIM to jump from 1.88% in 2014 and 2015, to 2% this year, and reach as high as 2.11% in 2019. Source: JPM 10K; model projections Balance Sheet Part I: Assets As noted above, JPM has become the largest bank in the US, in terms of assets, via a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. As of 2Q FY2016, JPM stood at $2.47T assets, however management has indicated that they expect to end FY2016 closer to $2.45T.vi From 2011-2015, total assets grew at an average rate of 1.11% but that figure is skewed by an 8.61% drop in 2015. Once adjusted for that outlier, JPM’s assets grew at an average rate of 4.34%. Using management guidance as a starting point, we expect JPM total assets to grow at an average rate of 4.58% from 2016-2020. Thus, we foresee JPM’s total assets to reach $2.94T in 2020. Source: JPM 10K; model projections Loans represent JPM’s largest asset, averaging 31% of the total balance sheet the past five years. This line item includes wholesale, consumer, and credit card loans. Trading assets, the portfolio of wide-ranging financial instruments, is the next largest, at 17%. Securities, which includes a combination of traditional and esoteric fixed- income investments, makes up 14% of the balance sheet. Items such as cash, deposits with banks, and federal funds sold represent JPM’s cash and excess reserves that it holds itself, with other banks, and/or with the Federal Reserve. Combined such assets represent about a quarter, or 23% of JPM’s balance sheet. Other includes net PP&E, intangibles, accounts receivable, goodwill and other assets. Source: JPM 10K As noted above, we believe more of JPM’s revenue will come from traditional banking moving forward. Accordingly, we project the balance sheet to reflect this shift. More specifically, we expect the percentage of loans to increase by 6.50% and trading assets and securities to decrease by 3%.
  • 6. Page 6 Source: Model projections This forecast is based on three factors: (1) regulatory costs pertaining to complex assets; (2) recent trends in JPM’s balance sheet; (3) loan growth expectations. We believe the anticipated rise in regulatory costs for investing in complex assets will cause JPM to trim such holdings. For example, Title VII of Dodd Frank and the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), both of which add clearing and reporting requirements to certain over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trades, are still being implemented.vii In other words, many OTC derivatives that were historically traded bilaterally without an exchange or data repository will now have to be cleared and reported, increasing the costs of such trades. Relatedly, Basel III, which increases capital costs for riskier assets, continues to be phased-in and will contribute to a regulatory environment that disfavors a large portion of complex assets on the balance sheet. Additionally, recent trends in JPM’s balance sheet further support our future expectations. Trading assets and securities, as percentages of total assets, have dipped from 20% and 16% in 2011 to 15% and 12% in 2015, respectively. Moreover, in 2015 loans jumped to 35% of total assets, relative to 30% the preceding four years. Thus, it seems that the shift toward traditional banking that we are predicting is already underway. Thirdly, we believe JPM will demonstrate continued loan growth. Starting with 2016, based on performance through 2Q and management guidance, we assume loan growth of 7.5% for the year. From there we expect loans to grow at an average rate of 6.50% through 2020. Source: JPM 10K; model projections Our assumptions regarding loan growth are based on a host of economic variables. Such variables are discussed in the Economic Outlook below. It is also worth noting the credit quality of JPM’s loans. JPM’s credit quality can be examined through two metrics: (1) provision for credit losses (PCL) and (2) allowance for loan losses (ALL). ALL is a balance sheet contra-account that represents reserves JPM keeps for losses arising from bad loans and PCL is an income statement expense that is used to sustain the ALL.viii In other words, each quarter JPM takes a slice of its net income (PCL expense) and adds that money to a sort of rainy day fund for loans that go bad (ALL account). PCL as a percentage of average gross loans outstanding (PCL ratio), has averaged 0.35% in the more prudent post- financial crisis era of 2011-2015. In 2016, this ratio is expected to jump to 0.75% due to JPM’s oil and gas exposure. JPM’s total oil and gas exposure currently represents only 4.5% of total loans, and this increase in PCL is seemingly driven by only a single name in the oil and gas portfolio.ix On the one hand, it is unclear whether the worst is behind the oil and gas industry. On the other, JPM seems to be managing its exposure to the oil and gas industry carefully. Thus, we projected an average PCL ratio of 0.45% through 2020 – not as low as the 2011-2015 average but not as high as the 2016 spike either. Similarly, ALL as a percentage of gross loans outstanding (ALL ratio), which built up during the financial crisis has been decreasing ever since. It dropped from 5% in 2009 to 1.62% in 2015. But, again due to oil and gas industry strains, the ALL ratio is on pace to rise to 1.75% for 2016. Beyond that, we expect the ALL ratio to average a slightly higher 1.87% through 2020. This higher figure is due to our
  • 7. Page 7 forecasted PCL ratio, discussed above. In other words, as we expect JPM to record slightly higher PCL expenses, the ALL reserve will increase too. Balance Sheet Part II: Liabilities and Equity As a bank, JPM primarily finances its assets through various forms of borrowing. More specifically, deposits, short-term debt (i.e., commercial paper, federal funds purchased, accounts payable, etc.), and long-term debt (i.e., FHLB advances, bonds, etc.). Among these sources, the breakdown, as a percentage of total assets, tends to be 54%, 17%, and 12% respectively. Given the historical stability of JPM’s borrowing composition, we kept essentially the same breakdown for our forecasts. Since JPM can only invest and lend out what it can bring in, its asset growth must be in line with its funding growth. Accordingly, as deposits represent much of JPM’s funding, we anticipate a 4.76% five-year deposits CAGR. We projected the remaining borrowing sources as a percentage of beginning total liabilities, as there were consistent historical patterns in that regard. For example, long-term debt as a percentage of beginning liabilities has been right around 12% each of the past five years, thus we forecasted it in the 12-13% range going forward. There is one other liability item that does not represent a funding source: trading liabilities, which tends to represent 6.50% of beginning liabilities. This is essentially the opposite side of the trading assets account discussed above. Given the complexities associated with this account, and the consistency in its historical proportion, we kept it at 7% of beginning liabilities through 2020. While borrowing, in large part, dictates how much JPM can lend and invest, there is another controlling factor: regulation. As a bank holding company, JPM is governed by the Federal Reserve, and in turn the Basel Accords. While Basel is a set of international guidelines, the Fed has decided to use Basel, along with Dodd-Frank, to establish capital requirements for US banks within its jurisdiction. Capital requirements mean that JPM must finance its assets with a minimum level of equity. Additionally, as a designated Global Systemically Important Financial Institutions (G-SIFI), JPM must use even more equity financing than most banks. The amount of equity financing necessary hinges on the type of residual claim such equity represents. There are various categories such as Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1, Tier 2, Total Capital, etc. Each category is the numerator for the various capital ratios JPM is required to meet. The denominator consists of the assets being financed. And the ratio required depends on the asset’s perceived riskiness. Accordingly, JPM must assign a risk- weight to each of its assets, known as RWAs (i.e., CET1 ratio = CET1/RWA). Because RWAs are measured internally, and are not disclosed to the public, we have no way of estimating or projecting JPM’s RWA capital ratios. However, all is not lost in forecasting JPM’s capitalization as there is one Basel capital ratio we can approximate. Specifically, the Tier 1 leverage ratio uses Tier 1 Capital as the numerator and does not have a risk-weighted denominator. Tier 1 Capital can be estimated by adding common stock and preferred stock, then subtracting goodwill and other intangibles. There are other adjustments that are not defined in JPM’s 10K, but such changes are not large enough to prevent us from making a decent estimation. To be considered well-capitalized JPM must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 6%.x JPM has been above that threshold each of the past five years, and even surpassed 8% in 2015. We expect JPM’s Tier 1 leverage ratio to continue its upward trajectory and approach 9.50% by 2020. Source: JPM 10K; model projections This expectation makes sense, as Basel III continues to be phased in JPM will need use higher levels of equity to finance its operations. What this means for JPM’s profitability going forward is less clear. While more equity will undoubtedly provide a nice cushion in case of a financial downturn, it also poses potential investment issues. Specifically, as JPM’s equity base grows, so does its return on equity (ROE) denominator. And if net income, the ROE numerator, does not outpace this growth, then JPM’s ROE will start to decrease and potentially be unable
  • 8. Page 8 to exceed its cost of equity. In fact, by 2020, we forecast an ROE of 8.54% relative to a cost of equity of 8.58%. This is certainly concerning from our perspective and something we must consider in our evaluation of JPM stock. Balance Sheet Part III: Accounting Labyrinth JPM records 27% (or $625B) of its assets at fair value. Fair value is the price an asset could fetch in its market at the date of its valuation. There are three levels of fair value: Level One - quoted prices exist for identical assets/liabilities in active markets (i.e., shares traded on a public exchange); Level Two – quoted prices exist for similar assets/liabilities in active markets and model inputs are observable either directly or indirectly; Level Three – one or more inputs are unobservable and significant to the valuation.xi Level Two would involve complex modeling using available and relevant data, and could be considered analogous to an educated guess. Level Three, which, by definition, estimates items that cannot be observed, would involve even more complex modeling with unavailable data, and could be described as an uneducated guess.xii In fact, Level Three assets, even in a stable market, can be off by as much as 15% - and likely much more in a panic market.xiii As of FY2015, JPM had $180B in Level One assets, $415B in Level Two, and $31B in Level Three. Source: JPM 10K However, from 2014 to 2015 $18B in Level Three assets were moved to Level Two due to increases in observability in certain inputs and decreases in significance in other unobservable inputs.xiv In other words, JPM cut its Level Three assets by 40% based on its view of how observable an input was and/or how significant it judged another input to be. If assets can be moved back and forth between Levels Two and Three so seemingly effortlessly, the line separating educated and uneducated guess becomes blurrier – and the associated value(s) less reliable. Moreover, JPM records $60B and $9B in Level Two and Level Three liabilities, respectively. However, that is after netting out $890B in derivatives obligations. While netting money owed against offsetting money to be received under derivatives contracts is commonplace under GAAP, and on some level makes economic sense, it does not mean the net exposure is the true exposure. Put differently, if things go haywire – such as several countries leaving the EU, an unexpected sovereign/large corporate default, or large foreign exchange rate swing – then the amount a party owes under a derivatives contract could drastically exceed the net obligation. In short, if everything goes as expected JPM only owes $70B in derivatives payable, but if not, JPM could potentially be on the hook for much more. Scarily, if JPM had to pay out even 25% of its notional derivatives liability, that could be enough to wipe out JPM’s SH equity entirely. Beyond the uncertainties with fair value and derivatives exposure, as of FY2015 JPM had another $940B in off- balance sheet (OBS) exposure. This would mean that JPM’s true size is closer to $3.3T. Additionally, this would mean JPM is far more levered than the on-balance sheet leverage ratios would suggest. Basel III contemplated this exact scenario, and came up with the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) to adjust for OBS exposures. The SLR is essentially Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets and OBS exposures. Beginning in 2018, JPM will be required to maintain a 5% SLR. As of FY15, JPM estimates its SLR to be 6.5%, which is above the minimum but still a low figure. It is unlikely that many shareholders would want their equity investment levered upwards of 15x. Also, JPM excludes obligations under structured notes that are based on the performance of such notes from its total exposures. In other words, based on the current performance of the note, JPM estimates that it does not owe anything. However, it does not discuss what it may owe if that performance changes or turns against JPM. The reason for this could be that JPM views the obligations as relatively small in isolation, but it is plausible that they add up in the aggregate. Even the brightest person or the most powerful supercomputer cannot perfectly evaluate the intricate web of uncertainty embedded in JPM’s complex
  • 9. Page 9 transactions. At some point, especially when using unobservable inputs, the upper limits of human cognition and computer processing can only stretch so far. Thus, we are unsure how confident we can be in the value of JPM’s assets and what its total exposure to losses truly is – especially in a turbulent market. COMPANY EARNINGS Recent Performance Over the past year, JPM has displayed a strong earnings performance. Specifically, FY2015 EPS, on both a basic and diluted basis, grew by 13.4% relative to FY2014, beating analysts’ estimates of diluted EPS by 2%.xv Moreover, JPM has surpassed analysts’ expectations in each of the past six quarters – most recently posting a 13-cent surprise ($1.55 vs. $1.42) in Q2 of 2016. Source: FactSet We should note that JPM’s management does not guide EPS per se, but it does give guidance for net interest income, non-interest revenue, and total assets. Additionally, while FY2015 was strong and the first half of 2016 has exceeded expectations, JPM’s FY2016 EPS is expected to decline on year-over-year (YOY) basis. More specifically, we expect FY2016 basic EPS to be $5.93 relative to $6.05 and analysts foresee diluted EPS declining from $6.00 to $5.63. Moving forward, we project basic EPS to grow at a 5.2% CAGR from 2016-2020, relative to the 7.7% pace from 2011-2015. While this may seem pessimistic, our net income forecasts are $1B higher than analysts’ estimates for 2016 and 2017. Most of this relatively small difference comes from lower tax expenses and higher net interest income eon our end. In other words, analysts use a slightly higher marginal tax rate than we do and we expect a moderately friendlier rate environment. Unfortunately, analysts only predict diluted EPS and our model forecasts basic EPS, thus we are unable to make an apples-to-apples comparison here. Overall, JPM’s earnings the past six quarters have been impressive, and while we all expect a slight dip for 2016, we believe JPM will rebound in 2017 at a solid 5% pace through 2020. INDUSTRY THEMES JPM is part of the Financials Sector, and the Diversified Banks sub-industry. Diversified Banks is made up of the six largest US banks and the five largest Canadian banks, by asset size. The US Diversified Banks include JPM, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, US Bancorp, and PNC Financial Services. Risky Business? Since the financial crisis, a host of new regulations have been introduced with the intent of making the banking industry safer. The most significant reforms include Dodd- Frank and Basel III, both of which were discussed earlier (see Balance Sheet Part I and Part II, under Company Description). The goal of these regulations is to reduce the riskiness in the industry that exacerbated the financial crisis. It would seem then, as banks become better capitalized and risky activities increase in cost, that the overall industry is safer relative to the pre-crisis era. However, recent data indicates that this may not be the case. In fact, the opposite may be occurring and banks may be riskier now than before the crisis. Specifically, risk measures including various volatility metrics, credit default swap (CDS) spreads, systemic risk percentage (SRISK), etc. all paint an uneasy picture about the safety of today’s large banks.xvi Source: Sarin and Summers Bank Risk - Before and After Financial Crisis Measure Pre-Crisis Avg. Post-Crisis Avg. 2015 Avg. Volatility 24.70 33.07 20.67 Bank volatility/market volatility 1.55 1.80 1.71 Implied volatility 22.90 30.84 22.96 Implied bank volatility/market volatility 1.91 2.13 1.61 Option delta 0.036 0.074 0.046 Beta 1.18 1.59 1.23 CDS spread 31.85 139.04 93.58 Preferred stock price 24.91 20.15 20.74 SRISK% 5.76 10.44 10.18
  • 10. Page 10 The metrics in the above table pertain to four of the six Diversified Banks: JPM, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Citi, as well as two other financial conglomerates: Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. For every measure in the table, other than preferred stock, a higher number means more risk. As for preferred stock, because of its debt-like features, a lower yield and higher price would suggest less risk.xvii Especially in the post-crisis low rate environment, a less risky bank should have more expensive preferred shares than before the crisis. Unfortunately, the opposite has occurred. Moreover, both historical and implied volatility, even when adjusted for the broader market, are higher since the crisis – although 2015 did show a slight downtick. Given that it was created in 2016, SRISK may jump out as a novel concept. Essentially, it attempts to define risk by the likely size of a firm’s contribution to a system-wide failure.xviii It contains three inputs: (1) real social cost of a crisis per dollar of capital shortage; (2) probability of a crisis; and (3) expected capital shortfall of the firm in such crisis.xix In short, SRISK is the capital a firm would need to survive a financial crisis similar to that of 2008-2009. Thus, it appears that the six banks delineated above, on, need more capital to withstand a crisis today than they did in 2008-2009 – meaning they pose a riskier investment. The conventional wisdom after the crisis was that investors in bank shares would sacrifice profitability in favor of reduced risk. However, an investment with lower profit and higher risk is much less appealing. In light of this, it will be interesting to see how the industry evolves going forward. MARKETS AND COMPETITION As a large conglomerate, JPM competes with a wide range of financial institutions. Most directly, it competes with the other five Diversified Banks in the US mentioned above. JPM also competes with large investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc., and European counterparts Barclays, UBS, etc. Lastly, JPM competes with asset managers such as BlackRock and Vanguard. The six Diversified Banks dominate the $705B US commercial banking market, earning 50% of all FDIC- insured bank revenue.xx JPM alone accounts for 13.5% of such revenue. This indicates a high level of concentration in the banking industry, with JPM leading the way. Another way to examine the bank industry is through share of deposits. There are currently 6,122 FDIC-insured banks in the US, but the six Diversified Banks hold 41% of all domestic deposits. This further illustrates the concentration in the banking world. And again, JPM ranks quite well here, less than 1% away from the top spot. Source: Card Hub; FDIC Given the high level of concentration and the relative commoditization of commercial banking products, banks must compete on price in this space. Accordingly, we project a decrease in JPM’s lending and deposit related fees line item at 1.05% a year through 2020. The above data all relates to the traditional operations of JPM. To understand its market position within the investment banking realm, we examine fee revenue. This makes sense because investment banking is almost entirely a fee driven business. The investment banking industry is also highly concentrated as the top five firms earned 30% of the $89B in 2015 investment banking fees.xxi These five firms include three Diversified Banks (JPM, Bank of America, Citi) and two investment banks (Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley).
  • 11. Page 11 Source: Financial Times; Thomson Reuters As seems to be the pattern, JPM shows up at the top in this market as well. However, this stream of money is declining for JPM and the industry overall. More specifically, global investment banking revenue fell 6% in 2015 and is down 21% YOY through 2Q 2016. In other words, the pie for an already competitive industry is shrinking, which will lead to further price competition moving forward. Hence, the fee compression we embedded in our model – in particular, we do not expect JPM to reach its 2015 level in investment banking fees again until 2020. In terms of asset management, this is an area JPM is not at or very near the top. Asset management is a $16T market of firms that manage various pools of capital.xxii It is a service based business model that hinges on fee pricing and performance results. Whereas an investment banker is paid a fee for closing a deal, an asset manager will collect a fee to manage the assets and may also collect additional compensation based on performance. Source: S&P Capital As can be seen from the table above, JPM ranks sixth in AUM among asset managers – respectable but certainly there is room for improvement. Also, the story of concentration among financial activities applies here as well: BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street manage 61% of all the assets in this market. However, while price competition is fierce, firms also try to compete on product differentiation here. In other words, firms attempt to offer superior strategies and unique products at a lower price. For example, new ETFs that use more institutional strategies (i.e., long/short equity) but are available to retail investors. Our expectations regarding JPM’s asset management division have been outlined in earlier sections. Peer Comparisons We limited JPM’s peer group as other firms that offer similar products and services along the banking spectrum. For example, asset managers were not included because they are more limited in scope but investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were because they compete with JPM across various areas. Thus, this peer group includes the other five US Diversified Banks – Bank of America (BAC), Citi (C), US Bank (USB), and Wells Fargo (WFC) – along with Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS).
  • 12. Page 12 Source: FactSet; Yahoo! Finance The above table paints a mixed picture about JPM’s performance relative to its peers. For example, using standard bank profitability measures, ROA, ROE, and NIM, JPM is more profitable than some peers but less profitable than others. Additionally, using PCL and ALL ratios as a benchmark, JPM is a more prudent lender than some of its competitors but less prudent than others. It is noteworthy that JPM is by far the most levered Diversified Bank – 23% more levered than the next closest, BAC. Being the largest bank and the most levered is a combination that is unlikely to appeal to investors and regulators alike due to the risk and regulatory implications discussed previously (see Industry Trends). The market seems to be telling an interesting Price-to- Book (P/B) story. On the one hand, USB and WFC are trading at decent premiums relative to their book value. On the other, BAC, C, GS, and MS are all trading at discounts relative to their book value. JPM and PNC are right in between and are trading at slightly above book value. For the banks trading at a discount, this indicates that the market is not confident in the prospects of their stocks. It is typically not a good sign when the market values a company’s equity below its book value. Some of this market view may stem from uncertainty regarding these banks’ accounting, apprehension about their ability to generate a ROE that exceeds cost of equity, and discomfort with their post-crisis risk profile. What this means for JPM is unclear – given its P/B ratio, the market seems somewhat secure in JPM’s performance, but not enough to attach a solid premium to its equity value. ECONOMIC OUTLOOK Bank performance largely hinges the state of the overall economy. For JPM, with a 75%/25% US/international breakdown for both revenues and assets, the US economy is the most important and the global economy is secondary. Key variables such as interest rates, GDP, consumer confidence, housing, commercial real estate, the labor market, all fuel lending – JPM’s bread and butter. Therefore, this section will focus on such metrics, domestically, with some consideration of global factors. Rates The Federal Reserve raised rates for the first time since the financial crisis last December. In our September Economic Outlook, we forecasted another 25 bps rate hike this year and another two to three 25 bps rate hikes through 2018. From there, we could see anywhere from zero to two more 25 bps rate hikes through 2020. These expectations are based on the Fed’s cautious tone, and indications that rate normalization will be a slow and steady process. However, we should note that the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank continue to ease their monetary policy, with Japan even veering into negative rate territory. Thus, despite our domestic rates rising, there could be a spillover effect from abroad that negatively impacts JPM’s loan yields. Since 90% of JPM’s loan portfolio is domestic we do not expect this to directly impact JPM’s interest income and margins, but the potential for indirect impact is something we will watch closely. Overall though, we expect the future rate environment to be favorable for JPM’s business as discussed throughout the Company Description. GDP On the most macro-level, economists expect real US GDP and real global GDP to grow at approximately 2%-2.50% and 3%-3.50%, respectively over the next three years.xxiii We foresee similar growth domestically, as our September Economic Outlook produced a median two-year real US GDP of 2.3%. In other words, the post-crisis status quo of sluggish growth is likely to endure. Such expectations support our case for very gradual and modest rate hikes, and in turn, the moderate increases in JPM’s interest income and margins.

  • 13. Page 13 Consumer Confidence A more confident consumer is a more willing borrower, and thus better for JPM’s business. In August, consumer confidence in the US reached an 11-month high, as the index hit 101.1.xxiv Additionally, global consumer confidence, as measured by Nielsen, is also trending positive.xxv Specifically, it was at 98 for Q2 2016, up two points YOY. We expect these trends to continue as GDP remains positive (see above) and the labor market strengthens even further (see below). Consumer loans and credit cards make up 57% of JPM’s loan portfolio. Thus, we foresee a consumer better positioned to borrow over the next four years, contributing to JPM’s loan growth highlighted in the Company Description. Labor Market This summer the US unemployment rate fell below 5% for the first time since before the Great Recession. Our two- year forecast produced a median unemployment rate of 4.8%. In other words, the US labor market has rebounded well from the crisis and we expect that to continue. In fact, the labor market hast tightened so much in the past year or so, that it is starting to flow through to wages and income. In fact, median household income grew 5.2% YOY in 2015, the largest jump since 2007.xxvi This is crucial for consumer confidence, and in turn bank lending, because as people start to earn more money they will be more confident, and more likely to spend and borrow more. In terms of global unemployment, it stood at 5.8% for 2015, down from 6.2% in 2009.xxvii xxviii However, while the rate is expected to stay steady, the number of unemployed people globally is expected to rise, at least through 2017. In short, the global labor market picture is murkier than the US, but since JPM’s loans are so domestically concentrated we expect the optimistic US labor market outlook to outweigh the murky global one. Real Estate Commercial and residential real estate loans represent 36% of JPM’s loan portfolio. Accordingly, forecasted US housing starts and US commercial property starts are the main variables for predicting the domestic real estate lending environment for JPM. Housing starts are expected to increase at a three-year CAGR of 9.1% through 2018.xxix Additionally, commercial real estate establishments are projected to grow at a five-year CAGR of 1.50% through 2020.xxx There are no analogous forecasts for international real estate, although through 3Q 2015 global direct property investment was up 11% YOY.xxxi This suggests that the international real estate market is also trending up. All of this data indicates a strong real estate lending market, and as such supports our loan growth expectations for JPM. In sum, solid to strong economic fundamentals will continue through our forecast period. This economic view contributes to our belief that JPM will grow at a reasonable pace. Specifically, our model grows JPM’s assets at a 4.58% CAGR, slightly higher than the historical 4.34%. VALUATION JPM currently trades at a market price of $65.82, and our models (all dated 9/2/2016) produce a range of values from $69.51 to $75.01. In considering these models collectively, we assign a $70 price target for JPM, indicating 6% in upside potential. Hence, our HOLD recommendation. Projections already covered: Our predictions and underlying reasoning for all key balance sheet and income statement items have been explained at length throughout this report, namely in the Company Description and Economic Outlook. Also, any line items not discussed are too minor to warrant attention. Thus, we will not expound on any additional projections here. Risk premium: The Henry Fund consensus is 5%. Beta: We used a Beta of 1.26 because this was the median of the weekly Betas over the last 10 years, as calculated by Bloomberg. CV growth: We believe long-term nominal US GDP will be about 3.50%-4.00% and nominal global GDP about 5.00%- 5.50%. Thus, we set JPM’s CV growth rate at 3% since we do not expect it to outgrow the US nor the global economy. Considering US and global nominal GDP is appropriate here because JPM has both domestic and international operations. Free Cash Flow to Equity and Equity Economic Profit: These models account for the fact that banks make money off both sides of the balance sheet. The formal approach (Formal FCFE), focuses on uses and sources of cash. The simple approach focuses on the total change in assets and liabilities and equity economic profit focuses on the
  • 14. Page 14 relationship between ROE and cost of equity – since both approaches produce the same exact price we refer to them collectively as Simple FCFE/EEP. The Formal FCFE produces a price of $73.32 and the Simple FCFE/EEP produces a price of $69.66. The difference between the two prices appears to be driven by the fact that Formal FCFE adds back the PCL expense, increasing its projected cash flows relative to the Simple FCFE/EEP. DDM: The DDM produced a price of $69.51, about the same as the Simple FCFE/EEP number and about 5% lower than Formal FCFE. This likely stems from slightly higher Formal FCFE growth projections relative to dividend growth projections. We do expect JPM to increase its dividend payout ratio moving forward. Specifically, the payout ratio has averaged 30% the past three years and we expect it to approach 35% by 2020. Our reasoning is that as JPM becomes better capitalized and generates more cash it will look to distribute it to its shareholders accordingly. Relative valuation: As a bank, price-to-book (P/B) is the most appropriate relative valuation model here. Relative P/B (BV16) produces a price of $75.01, the highest of all our models. However, this number is skewed a bit high by two outliers. Specifically, Wells Fargo and US Bank have 2016 P/B ratios of 1.40 and 1.80. respectively. This is .40- .80 higher than the next closest P/B ratio. If these two banks are removed from the average, the Relative P/B (BV16) produces a price of $58.98 – quite the difference. Thus, we view $75.01 to be an optimistically tilted price. The peer group used to arrive at the P/B multiple and our interpretation of both industry and JPM P/B was discussed in the Markets and Competition section above. Model evaluation: We considered all the models in determining our target price. As noted above, the relative valuation was skewed a bit too high at $73, the DDM and Simple FCFE/EEP produced essentially the same price at $70, and the Formal FCFE gives a $73 value. Thus, a reasonable range for JPM’s intrinsic value is likely $69-$74. We steered toward the lower end of that range to arrive at our target price of $70.00. This is because, while we like the outlook of economic fundamentals and JPM’s growth prospects, we are uncomfortable with the volume of Level Two and Three assets/liabilities, the OBS exposure, and JPM’s ROE struggling to exceed its cost of capital. Sensitivity analysis: We tested the Simple FCFE/EEP price against several variables, including beta, risk premium, yields, tax rate, growth rates, etc. In the vast majority of scenarios, the target price exceeds the current market price. However, the model does seem to be quite sensitive to JPM’s beta and the risk-free rate. For example, a beta of 1.39 and a risk-free rate of 2.50% changes the price to $59 – about 16% below our target price and 11% below the current market price. Such a scenario is quite plausible since JPM’s 10-year weekly beta was as high as 1.59 and the 30-year UST surpassed 2.50% every day for the first five months of this year. Beta is the bigger driver here the as difference between the highest and lowest numbers tested produces upwards of a $45 range, holding risk-free rate constant. Risk-free rate on the other hand only changes by $23 at most, holding beta constant. This tells us that while our model is fairly robust, JPM’s value is very sensitive to volatility. Henry Fund vs. other analysts: Our EPS and net income projections relative to analyst estimates was analyzed in the Recent Development sections. The mean one-year target price among analysts is $70.56 – almost exactly the same as our current target price. It is likely that both us and the sell-side analysts are viewing JPM’s story similarly: solid growth prospects but risk concerns too. REASONS TO SELL • The $515B in complex Level Two and Three assets and liabilities, and/or the $940 in OBS exposure become a material risk to JPM’s capitalization. • JPM’s average ROE over the past five years of 9.16% barely surpasses its 8.58% cost of equity, further downward pressure in this regard could make JPM an unattractive investment • The expected post-crisis trade-off of less profit for less risk, may actually have been less profit for more risk given increases in JPM’s CDS spreads (up 80 bps), implied volatility (up 20%), and beta (up .10). If this trend continues, JPM may be too risky to hold. • JPM’s current P/B of 1.05 indicates that the market views JPM’s equity as just above its book value, and perhaps a lack of confidence regarding JPM’s prospects. Ultimately, we are optimistic about the overall economy and its effect on JPM’s business. And while we believe JPM should provide 6% upside, we have concerns about its risk profile and its ability to generate an ROE that exceeds cost of equity. Thus, we recommend a HOLD.
