JPMorgan Chase Vs. Bank of America: Which Stock Offers More Value?
Portfolio Pulse from Surbhi Jain
JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) and Bank of America Corp (BAC) reported Q4 2023 earnings, with JPM outperforming BAC. JPM benefited from new deposits, a low-cost acquisition, and record profits, while BAC faced challenges due to interest rate sensitivity and unrealized losses on long-term securities. With expected rate cuts in 2024, analysts see more upside in BAC stock (11.58%) than JPM (9.66%), despite BAC's risks. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) gained over 5% in 2023.
