Is JP Morgan under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the JP Morgan P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

JP Morgan's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, JP Morgan shares trade at around 11x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

JP Morgan's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1661. A PEG ratio close to 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares offer reasonable value for the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into JP Morgan's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

What's JP Morgan's ESG track record?

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like JP Morgan.

Overall JP Morgan ESG score

JP Morgan's total ESG risk: 24.51

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and JP Morgan's overall score of 24.51 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 29th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like JP Morgan is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

JP Morgan's environmental score: 1.16/100

JP Morgan's environmental score of 1.16 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that JP Morgan is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

JP Morgan's social score of 12.45 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that JP Morgan is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

JP Morgan's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that JP Morgan is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

JP Morgan's controversy score: 3/5

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. A high-profile company, JP Morgan scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that JP Morgan hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
