Bloomberg
The bank said it earned $1.65 a share, above the $1.52 analysts were expecting.Revenue came in at $25.59 billion, above the $24.88 billion consensus.
A couple of analysts are weighing in on the stock. CFRA’s CathySeifert reiterated a Buy rating on the stock:
We keep our 12-month target of $98, 14.9X our ’17 EPS estimate of $6.57 (raised by $0.10) and 13.2X our ’18 EPS estimate of $7.45 (raised by $0.20), close to peers.JPMreported Q1 EPS of $1.65 vs. $1.35, $0.17 above our estimate and $0.14 above the S&P Capital IQ consensus. Results reflected buybacks, plus a 28% drop in the provision for credit losses. Revenues rose a healthy 6.2%, despite 1.3% lower consumer banking revenues on 18.5% lower mortgage revenue and a 3.3% drop in card revenues. We remain encouraged by margins, and strength in corporate and commercial bank units.

Major turning points like the one were seeing right now can generate spectacular comeback moves. In fact, were already witnessing several of these rallies in our commodity-centric plays. Just look at copper miner Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX).

In February, the shortest month of the year, copper, gold, and oil company Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX) saw its shares tumble by nearly 20%. After a roughly 95% price gain in 2016, it was a painful reminder of years past, when Freeport-McMoRan was dealing with the aftermath of an ill-timed oil investment.
- [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX) and Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX) rank among the largest gold and copper miners in the world. After years of retrenching, both are in better operational and financial shape than they were when commodity prices started to tumble in 2011. But now that metals prices are finally rising, there are new troubles to face. Barrick’s headwinds, however, don’t look nearly as formidable as what Freeport-McMoRan is facing.
- [By WWW.KIPLINGER.COM]
Some energy stocks just cant seem to catch a break and Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) is one of those energy stocks. As we all know, FCX made some bad moves and decided to get into the oil business just as prices were peaking. That wouldnt be so bad, if it wasnt for the massive debt it took out to buy stakes in the gulf and other regions.
