JPMorgan Chase: The Fed Put May Propel Shares To New Records

JPMorgan Chase & Co. operates as a financial services company worldwide. It operates through four segments: Consumer & Community Banking (CCB), Corporate & Investment Bank (CIB), Commercial Banking (CB), and Asset & Wealth Management (AWM)

Ticker: JPM | Price: $200.03 | Price Target: $300 (+49%)
Market Cap: $575B | Timeframe: N/A

🏦 Banking | 💰 2.3% Dividend | 📈 Bullish Idea

JPMorgan Chase & Co. holds a bullish stance and is a strong buy with a price target of greater than $300 per share, which equates to roughly 20 times price-to-earnings, similar to the S&P 500 multiple. It has seen a bull run with a year-to-date increase of more than 15.6%, outperforming the S&P 500, which is up 10%. The company is likely to benefit from tailwinds, such as the Federal Reserve's dovish pivot and possible rate cuts that may boost bank lending. In 2024, net interest income is likely to be between $82 to $84 billion, and investment banking is set to surge with revenue increases in mergers and acquisitions, equity capital markets, and debt capital markets, potentially by $3 to $4 billion. JPMorgan's gains versus peers are somewhat constrained due to their losses and restructurings. The company has added $60 billion in deposits in 2023 and acquired First Republic at a bargain. Risks are mitigated by the 'Fed put' and a shift in investor risk perception, creating a favorable environment for financials.

⛏️ Mining | 💰 9% Dividend | 📈 Bullish Idea

* I recommend using Interactive Brokers (link) to trade international and OTC stocks if you can’t trade them in your current brokerage

There's also a positive net cash position of AU$280 million, which constitutes 57% of the market capitalization. Grange Resources posts high Return on Invested Capital figures and has a strategic 48% shareholder in Jiangsu Shagang Group. The company's stock price is affected by the volatility and price movements associated with Chinese and Indian steel demand. Currently trading at AU$0.425, the stock is undervalued with high growth potential. Risks include lease renewal by 2031 and potential environmental regulation changes.

WM TECHNOLOGY INC - $MAPS

WM Technology, Inc. provides ecommerce and compliance software solutions to retailers and brands in cannabis market in the United States and internationally

Ticker: MAPS | Price: $1.32 | Price Target: $4.30 (+126%)
Market Cap: $207M | Timeframe: N/A

🌳 Cannabis | 💻 Software | 📈 Bullish Idea

WM Technology Inc, trading under the ticker MAPS, is currently priced at $0.92 per share, with a market capitalization of $150 million and approximately $30 million in net cash, resulting in an enterprise value (EV) of $120 million. There is a bullish outlook on the cannabis sector with the potential rescheduling of cannabis in 2024, which could remove the tax burdens under Section 280E, thereby boosting profits for the sector and marketing revenue for MAPS. The stock trades at approximately 3 times its adjusted EBITDA with a past low of $0.65 and a historical high of $4.30. The leading Weedmaps platform, known for high margins, has survived a sector downturn and is poised for growth. However, risks include the possibility of no reschedule by the DEA and further industry troubles.

Yesterday’s Poll Results: 60% bullish

Two days in a row as the biggest loser for Reddit after their successful IPO and Trump Media & Technology ($DJT) flipped from the biggest gainer yesterday to one of the biggest losers today. A couple other popular stocks (Palantir and MicroStrategy) also find themself in the biggest loser list.

Two bullish days in a row, but the last two days haven’t felt super compelling as the indexes were just slightly green (and the Nasdaq was slightly red yesterday). The Fear v Greed index gained one more point and the news sentiment was surprisingly bullish (and well above the 7-day average) considering the market was barely green. Yellowbrick Road readers remain just above 60% bullish.
