BUZZ.s-Preview: JPMorgan's third-quarter revenue and net profit are expected to increase

October 12 - ** JPMorgan (JPM.N) shares rose 0.4% on Monday, as the company will release its quarterly earnings before the market opens on Tuesday, with the market expecting strong growth in both profit and revenue.

** According to the latest data from London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), Wall Street expects the largest U.S. bank to report adjusted third-quarter earnings per share of $5.90, up from $5.07 a year earlier; revenue is expected to reach $51.22 billion, an increase of about 9% from $47.12 billion in the same period of 2025.

** Net interest income is expected to grow by 12% to $26.84 billion.

** Over the past eight quarters, JPMorgan’s earnings per share and revenue have both surpassed market expectations every time.

** This quarter, investors will closely watch U.S. bank earnings reports to look for signs of whether the recent surge in Treasury yields (link) will dampen merger and acquisition activity and loan growth, while pushing up financing costs across the industry.

** According to LSEG data, the stock last traded at $334.41, with a median target price of $370; among 27 analyst ratings, 2 recommend a “strong buy,” 13 a “buy,” and 12 a “hold.”

** Year to date, the stock has risen about 4%, compared to an 8% increase in the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI, a 1.8% rise in the S&P 500 Banks Index .SPXBK, and a 0.6% gain in the S&P 500 Financial Services Index .SPSY.

** According to Trade Alert data, the implied price from JPMorgan options suggests the stock could see a 3.3% swing (either up or down) by this Friday; this is higher than the average 2.6% swing seen on the day of results over the past eight quarters.
