While the current share price trades at a 34% discount to this assumed long term fair value (as of the 6th of July 2022), it does represent a downgrade from the $167.44 target we saw ahead of the groups Q1 2022 results in April.

JP Morgan currently trades at a slight premium to its sector peers in terms of a historical and forward PE, although still at a significant discount to the S&P 500 benchmark index (at a PE of 28 times).

The group’s dividend offering has been at a premium to these aforementioned peers in aggregate.

JP Morgan – Technical view

The long term trend for JP Morgan remains down as noted by the price trading firmly below the 200 day simple moving average as well as the red trend line on our chart.

The stochastic is suggesting that the price may be oversold at present although this is not yet considered reason to trade against the prevailing downtrend.

Should a rebound from oversold territory occur, traders respecting the longer term trend might wait for a bearish reversal to end a move higher, in which case 113.00 and 103.75 would become downside support targets respectively. In this scenario the red trend line on our chart might be used as a trailing stop consideration.

Only on a move back above the high at 132.30 would we reassess the short bias considered to trades on the company currently.
