JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM): Valuation Snapshot
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) is a bank, insurer or other financial, and a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong lens for one, so TickerWorth does not publish a DCF fair value for it. Its bank model puts it at about $278.38 a share against $339.72. Snapshot as of Oct 19, 2026.

How is a bank like JPM valued?
This is a bank / insurer / financial. A free-cash-flow DCF is structurally the wrong lens here (their debt and float are raw material, not financing), so we don't publish one. Instead we value it with a bank model — justified price-to-book, (ROE − g) ÷ (cost of equity − g), on a return on equity of 18.0% and a cost of equity of 9.9% — at about $278.38 a share ($245.13–$322.06 for a cost of equity one point either way), against a price of $339.72.
A dividend-discount cross-check gives about $91.76, shown as a reference only. Every input is listed with its source; it is a model estimate, not a price target.
Bank model (justified price-to-book)
Our bank model’s estimate: about $278.38 (range $245.13 to $322.06), against a price of $339.72. It is not a DCF and not a price target.
Value = book value per share × (ROE − g) ÷ (cost of equity − g). The range is for a cost of equity ±1% (8.9%–10.9%).
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Book value per share | $132.30 | yfinance, latest reported book value per share |
| Return on equity | 18.0% | yfinance, trailing twelve months |
| Risk-free rate | 5.1% | US 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) |
| Beta | 1.02× | yfinance 5-year monthly beta vs the S&P 500 |
| Equity risk premium | 4.7% | house equity risk premium (same as every DCF) |
| Cost of equity | 9.9% | computed — risk-free + beta × equity risk premium (CAPM) |
| Payout ratio | 25.7% | yfinance payout ratio (trailing dividends ÷ earnings) |
| Long-run growth | 2.5% | ESTIMATEROE × retention (13.4%), capped at the house long-run rate 2.5% |
| Justified price-to-book | 2.10× | computed — (ROE − g) ÷ (cost of equity − g) |
Dividend-discount cross-check: about $91.76, reference only — a low payout means most of the return comes from buybacks and retained growth, which a dividend model cannot see.
A model estimate from public data, with every input shown — not a price target and not advice. Bank returns on equity revert over time and this model holds today's for good.
When we tested this family of bank models on past data, none ranked banks better than plain price-to-book. Treat it as one formula's estimate, not a verdict.

What we can say
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) is a bank, insurer or other financial, and a free-cash-flow discounted-cash-flow (DCF) model is structurally the wrong lens for it: for these businesses debt and float are raw material, not financing. So we value it the way a bank is valued — on the return it earns on its book equity. Our bank model (justified price-to-book) puts it at about $278.38 a share, between $245.13 and $322.06 for a cost of equity one point either side of 9.9%, against $339.72 today.
Read the full reasoning
Every input is listed with its source. It is a model estimate, not a price target, and not investment advice.
On the numbers we do have, JPM trades at a recent price of $339.72, a market capitalisation of about $902,160,449,536, sitting 69% of the way up its 52-week range ($279.10–$366.50), on the NYSE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing JPM's trading multiples against its direct industry peers. Here that gives P/E of 14.2× (richer than the peer median of 12.2×); Fwd P/E of 13.3× (richer than the peer median of 10.4×); P/B of 2.6× (richer than the peer median of 1.5×); P/S of 4.7× (richer than the peer median of 3.1×); Dividend yield of 1.9% (richer than the peer median of 2.4%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. JPM shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 2.57 and book value of $132.30 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. JPM is in a mixed trend, trading -7.3% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is +12.4%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
To be exact about what this page is not: we are not saying the numbers for JPM are unavailable. They are, and they are above. We are saying a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong instrument for this kind of business, and publishing one anyway — because the inputs happen to exist — would be a precise answer to the wrong question. Refusing is the more useful answer, and it is the same rule we apply to every name in this category.
