JPMorgan Chase & Co., a globally recognized financial services company, categorizes its operations into four key segments: Consumer & Community Banking (CCB), Corporate & Investment Bank (CIB), Commercial Banking (CB), and Asset & Wealth Management (AWM).

The CCB segment encompasses a broad spectrum of services from deposit, investment, lending, and payment solutions for individual consumers to a similar suite of services for small businesses. It also focuses on mortgage origination and servicing, residential mortgages, home equity loans, as well as credit card, auto loan, and leasing services.

In the CIB segment, the firm provides a range of investment banking services, such as advisory on corporate strategy and structure, equity and debt capital-raising, loan origination, and syndication. This segment also offers risk management solutions, prime brokerage, and research, along with securities services for asset managers, insurance companies, and public and private investment funds.

The CB segment addresses the financial needs of small to midsize businesses, local governments, and non-profits by offering financial solutions including lending, payments, investment banking, and asset management. Moreover, it extends commercial real estate banking services to investors, developers, and property owners across various sectors.

Finally, the AWM segment delivers multi-asset investment management solutions to institutional clients and retail investors. It offers a comprehensive range of products and services, including retirement plans, brokerage, custody, trusts, estates, loans, mortgages, deposits, and investment management products.

== Operations ==

=== How did the idea of the company come about? ===
The idea of JPMorgan Chase stems from the cooperation of more than 1200 predecessor institutions over hundreds of years. In 1799, the earliest predecessor institution, The Manhattan Company, was charted by the New York State legislature to provide clean water to city's growing residence. One of the founders, Aaron Burr, added a clause to the charter, to allow the directors of The Manhattan Company to start a bank with excess capital, that is unused by the water company. The service continued until 1842, when New York established its own municipal water system, leading to the closure of The Manhattan Company's waterworks operations.<ref name=":02">https://www.jpmorganchase.com/about/our-history</ref>

Meanwhile, the directors of The Manhattan Company, 6 months following the acceptance of the charter, formed The Bank of Manhattan Company. In 1955, The Bank of Manhattan Company merged with Chase National Bank, to form Chase Manhattan Bank, which combined Chase National’s strength in international, corporate, and correspondent banking with The Bank of The Manhattan Company's network of branches and retail banking expertise. In 1871, J. Pierpont Morgan united with Anthony Drexel to form Drexel, Morgan & Co., a private merchant banking house in New York City, renamed JPMorgan & Co later. In 2000, Chase Manhattan Bank merged with JPMorgan & Co. to form JPMorgan Chase & Co. and is now a multinational investment bank and financial services company.<ref name=":02">https://www.jpmorganchase.com/about/our-history</ref>

== Financials ==

=== Historic ===

==== Most recent quarter (2Q23) ====
In the 2nd quarter of 2023 (2Q23), JPMorgan Chase & Co have released a strong earnings report showing a net income of $14.5 billion, with profits soaring 67% compared to the previous year. This was largely due to the bank being a big lender, with their balance sheet boasting loans of $1.2T, up 10% since the previous quarter. The bank has therefore benefitted significantly as a result of the current economic climate with constant interest rate hikes and rising inflation increasing yields on loans. Another reason for the strong quarterly results was due to gains from the acquisition of First Republic, the failed bank that it had acquired in May 2023. <ref>https://www.jpmorganchase.com/ir/quarterly-earnings</ref>

* Managed revenue rose by 34% to $42.4 billion, beating analyst expectations of $38.4 billion. 
* Deposits have gone up 3% compared to the previous quarter but are still down overall by 6% compared to the previous year.
* Common dividend paid out of $2.9B ($1.00 per share), with $1.8B of common stock net repurchases.
* Total assets under management for the Asset & Wealth Management division as of 2Q23 are $3.2 trillion, up 16%.
* In contrast, the revenue from investment banking (CIB) operations fell 6% in M&A and 10% in trading from the previous year. However, when looking across the sector for investment banking we see that this was less than competitor Citi bank which had losses of 24% and 13% respectively within the same divisions.<ref>https://www.citigroup.com/global/investors/quarterly-earnings</ref> Furthermore, Goldman Sachs has reported a quarterly drop of 58% in profits compared to the previous year. <ref>https://www.goldmansachs.com/media-relations/press-releases/2023/2023-07-19-q2-results.html</ref>

In conclusion, we see that for 2Q23 JPMorgan Chase & Co has performed very strongly and continues to be a leading bank during a troubled macroeconomic climate. 

==== Most recent year ====
For the fiscal year 2022, JP Morgan reported a net income of $35.89 billion. The annual revenue was $128.7 billion, an increase of 5.79% over the previous year.

== Business model, Macroeconomic factors & Potential Risks ==
'''Jamie Dimon Letter to shareholders 2023:'''
“The Firm continued to demonstrate strong financial performance in 2022, building upon its momentum from prior years…” “…That said, our clients and customers, employees and communities continue to face headwinds coming from geopolitical tensions including the war in Ukraine, the vulnerable state of energy and food supplies, persistent inflation that is eroding purchasing power and has pushed interest rates higher and unprecedented quantitative tightening. We have also seen a small number of bank failures and instability in pockets of our industry. While we are committed to doing our part in times of stress, we strongly believe that America’s financial system is among the best in the world…” “…the global banking system has strong credit, plenty of liquidity, and capital. Nonetheless, we remain vigilant and are prepared for whatever happens so we can work with our customers, clients and communities around the world across a broad range of economic environments, while remaining true to our fundamental business principles and commitment to building long-term value for our shareholders.” - Letter to shareholders in proxy statement, April 4th 2023, from Jamie Dimon (CEO/Chair) & Stephen B.

JPMorgan Chase & Co is the largest bank in America, with a balance sheet boasting over $3.7 Trillion of assets.<ref name=":5">chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/<nowiki>https://www.jpmorganchase.com/content/dam/jpmc/jpmorgan-chase-and-co/investor-relations/documents/quarterly-earnings/2023/2nd-quarter/1f617eea-d92b-46c4-8b73-4234a60f83a9.pdf</nowiki></ref> The bank is a one-stop shop for nearly all types of financial services to all types of consumers. This includes the 4 main segments: Consumer & Community Banking (CCB), Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB), Commercial Banking (CB), and Asset & Wealth Management (AWM). These respectively serve the average individual, small businesses, large businesses and institutions, midsize businesses, and wealthy individuals. This demonstrates how JPMorgan Chase & Co is a well diversified financial institution and their numbers reflect this, with each segment bringing in a significant portion of revenue on average. However, their two biggest segments tend to consistently be the CCB and CIB, which bring in over 50% of profits on average.<ref name=":5" /> Due to being a diverse financial institution, JPMorgan Chase & Co have been successful at thriving during difficult economic times such as the 2008 Financial Crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic, and currently during the brink of recession and shifting tides within the global financial system. Aside from offering highly diversified services, a quintessential reason for the success of the mega bank is due to its “Fortress Balance Sheet”.

'''Fortress Balance Sheet:'''

The centre of CEO Jamie Dimon’s risk management strategy for JPMorgan Chase & Co is the concept of the Fortress Balance Sheet - a large cushion of assets and capital to protect consumers deposits if the bank gets hit by unexpected losses. This currently stands at nearly $400 Billion, making the bank highly liquid, and making a run on the bank virtually impossible according to the CEO<ref name=":5" />. This security is particularly attractive in the current economic climate following the multiple U.S. bank failures in the past year that have occured due to bad risk management practices. Depositors have flocked towards the biggest and safest banks as a result. Increased yields on these deposits as a result of rising interest rates have contributed greatly towards the 67% increase in net income seen during 2Q23 for JPMorgan Chase & Co. This practice of strong risk management made the bank emerge victorious in 2008 and put them in a position to help the U.S. government by acquiring 2 failing banks - Bear Sterns and Washington Mutual. Similarly in May 2023 they have acquired the failing bank First Republic Bank, which has already contributed to over $2 Billion in profit this quarter for the firm.

'''Market & Macroeconomic outlook (2Q23):'''

The past year has been one of many significant shifts in the global financial system. We have seen multiple massive bank failures within the U.S. starting with Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, and spreading recently to First Mutual Bank. The main reason for these failures has been the constant interest rate hikes imposed by the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States. As a result of these hikes, banks that were holding long-term assets lost value rapidly. Furthermore, the failed banks mentioned had a large percentage of their deposits uninsured which led to panic amongst depositors and ultimately a large concentrated withdrawal of money that could not be dealt with as the cash had been tied in long-term assets that were losing value (such as 10-year treasuries and mortgages).

Despite this, JPMorgan Chase & Co reported one of their best quarters ever with sky high profits. As the bank is a massive lender, it has profited from increased yields as a result of the hikes in interest rates. However, we have seen that their Corporate & Investment Banking segment has reported decreases in earnings this quarter, with a 6% drop in revenue from M&A and 10% in trading from the previous year. Revenue from investment banking and trading operations are down across the sector. This may be a risk to consider before investing in the bank as uncertainty with interest rates continues, and the Federal Reserve progresses with its goals of Quantitative Tightening.

“The uncertainty on the Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rate hikes has been a large driver of a fall in deal activity as it makes it tricky to establish a reliable discount rate to value companies by.” said Sandy Pomeroy, senior portfolio manager of the Neuberger Berman equity income fund.

Globally, the total deal value of mergers and acquisitions fell about 39% during the first half of this year compared with the same period last year. Total deal value for initial public offerings was down 32%.<ref>https://dealogic.com/insight/ma-highlights-fy22/</ref>

'''Risks:'''

Here I highlight some possible risks faced that are unique to JPMorgan Chase & Co, and which may affect stock price negatively in the future.

# Alleged links to criminal activity - the bank has been accused by multiple sources of being involved with and facilitating the activities of Jeffrey Epstein, including human trafficking. JPMorgan Chase & Co has already agreed to pay $290 Million to settle a lawsuit on behalf of the victims.<ref>https://www.ft.com/content/54cb549c-c379-4a2f-87f7-b2454f0de393</ref> The U.S. Virgin Islands also filed a lawsuit last year related to the topic, seeking a further $190 Million in settlement. Aside from the monetary harm this would cause the bank, this may lead to a greater reputational damage as JPMorgan Chase & Co publicly prides itself on ‘being a force of good’ according to CEO Jamie Dimon. 
# The ‘too big to fail’ hypothesis - JPMorgan Chase & Co has been accused of being an institution that is deemed ‘too big to fail’, due to its status as the largest U.S. bank. The question of monopolistic practices comes into play as the bank has repeatedly bypassed constitutional laws in this domain when it acquired Washington Mutual, Bear Sterns, and recently First Republic Bank. This is because the law states that a bank that holds over 10% of the deposits from U.S. customers is not allowed to acquire other banks.
# Succession of CEO position - Jamie Dimon, the current CEO, has been with JPMorgan Chase & Co since 2005. Many consider him to be the engine for the wild success of the firm over the last two decades, thus his name has become synonymous with the bank. This calls into question the uncertainty of how markets would react were he to step down for any reason. Currently Daniel Pinto, current COO is next in line to take the position.<ref>chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/<nowiki>https://www.jpmorganchase.com/content/dam/jpmc/jpmorgan-chase-and-co/investor-relations/documents/proxy-statement2023.pdf</nowiki></ref>

=== '''Dividend Discount Model''' ===
The current stock price is 142.37. Using the H model, a target price of 180.68 is obtained, giving a 21% upside difference after 5 years. This model gave assumptions of 15% initial high growth rate (g1), 3% terminal growth rate (g2) and a 7% discount rate. 

Advantages of using the H-model include: 

==== 1. Consistency ====
One of the benefits of using the H-model is the fact that dividends remain steady over a long period. Usually, a company will experience fluctuation in certain measures, such as its total earnings and cash flow.

However, it always tries to ensure that dividends are obtained from the cash flow that it expects to achieve every year. For that reason, most companies never set an unrealistically high dividend target because if they fail to achieve it, that can cause a fall in their share price.<ref name=":4">https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/valuation/h-model/</ref>

==== 2. No bias ====
The main unit of measurement used in the H-model is the dividend. The good thing about that is that the definition of a dividend payment is the same for every company. However, the same cannot be said for many other measures. For example, what makes up “total earnings” may differ from one company to another.<ref name=":4" />

==== 3. Sign of maturity ====
The fact that shareholders continue to receive dividends year after year is an indication that the company has reached peak maturity. It shows that its operations are stable, and not much turbulence is likely to be experienced in the future. Thus, from an assessment point, it is much easier to calculate the discount rate since the model eliminates risk.<ref name=":4" />

<u>Other key assumptions made include:</u>

==== 1. Length of High-Growth Phase ====
The H model assumes a specific duration for the high-growth phase before transitioning to the stable growth phase. The duration of the high-growth phase should be determined based on the company's historical performance, future growth prospects, industry analysis, or management guidance.

==== 2. Transition to Stable Growth ====
The H model assumes a smooth transition from the high-growth phase to the stable growth phase. This implies that the company will experience a gradual slowdown in growth rates without any significant disruptions or sudden changes in its operations or competitive landscape.

==== 3. Dividend Stability ====
The H model assumes that the company will maintain a stable dividend pay-out policy during the stable growth phase. This assumes that the company has a consistent track record of paying dividends and is expected to continue doing so in the future.

==== 4. Stability of Growth Rates ====
The H model assumes that the growth rates (g1 and g2) remain constant during their respective phases. However, in reality, growth rates can vary due to changes in the company's operating environment, industry dynamics, or specific factors impacting its performance. It's important to acknowledge this assumption and consider any potential risks or uncertainties that could affect the stability of growth rates.

==== Sensitivity Analysis ====
A sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the effect of the initial high growth rate, discount rate and terminal growth rate on the target value of the company.
