Year-to-date, JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) stock lost 28.8% and on July 14th it had a closing price of $98.21. Here is what Giverny Capital said:
“JP Morgan shares have been battered, but the bank earns a well-diversified stream of earnings from investment banking, wealth management and trading as well as commercial banking. While JPM likely will take higher loan loss reserves in coming quarters, it has reported manageable credit losses to date and its hefty dividend seems well supported by earnings.”
