JPMorgan stock plummets 7.5% after president Pinto’s ‘Elon Musk moment’

JPMorgan Chase faced a significant setback today as the company’s stock price plunged 7.5% following remarks from President Daniel Pinto that dampened market expectations.

Pinto’s comments, likened to Elon Musk’s infamous 2020 tweet about Tesla, hinted that Wall Street may be overly optimistic about the bank’s near-term performance.

The unexpected warning spooked investors, leading to the largest single-day drop in JPMorgan’s stock since June 2020.

In a statement that shook confidence, Pinto cautioned,

NII expectations are a bit too high. Next year is going to be a bit more challenging.

NII, or Net Interest Income, represents the bank’s earnings from loans minus the interest it pays to depositors.

This revelation suggested that the bank’s previously strong financial performance could slow down, triggering an immediate sell-off.

Pinto’s remarks echoed Elon Musk’s 2020 tweet, in which the Tesla CEO claimed that his company’s stock was “too high,” leading to an 11% drop.

Short sellers, who had struggled against Tesla’s soaring stock price, saw it as a golden opportunity.

Likewise, Pinto’s honest assessment provided a similar shock to JPMorgan’s investors, catching them off-guard just as Musk’s tweet did.

Fed causes banking stocks to tank

The market downturn wasn’t solely driven by Pinto’s remarks.

JPMorgan, along with the broader banking sector, was hit by news of a regulatory overhaul from the Federal Reserve.

The Fed’s updated draft of capital rules, which initially required US lenders to increase capital by 19%, was revised down to 9%.

However, even this lowered figure fell short of market expectations, exacerbating concerns among investors.

As one of the largest banks in the US, JPMorgan was particularly hard-hit by these new regulations.

The combination of Pinto’s cautionary statement and regulatory pressures created a perfect storm that led to the dramatic fall in the stock price.

JPMorgan next year’s forecast

Pinto’s warning is especially significant as it directly challenges JPMorgan’s previous financial outlook.

Four months ago, the bank had forecasted $91 billion in Net Interest Income for the year, a figure that now seems overly ambitious according to the president.

While the bank has not provided a revised figure, the mere suggestion of lower-than-expected NII has rattled shareholders.

Adding to this, while JPMorgan expects a 15% rise in investment banking fees for Q3, and a 2% uptick in market revenue, these numbers are still below analyst expectations.

For instance, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has projected a 10% decline in trading revenues, which paints a grim picture for the sector overall.

Though JPMorgan’s performance might still outpace competitors, it appears it won’t be enough to satisfy Wall Street’s high standards.

Investors should pay close attention to Pinto’s comments, as he is widely considered the likely successor to current CEO Jamie Dimon.

His realistic outlook on JPMorgan’s performance may signal a shift in management’s approach as the bank navigates an increasingly complex financial landscape.

As JPMorgan braces for a potential easing cycle from the Federal Reserve, which would slow the growth of interest income, investors are left to wonder whether the bank can meet or exceed expectations in the coming year.

Pinto’s candid remarks serve as a wake-up call, urging caution in a market that has become increasingly uncertain.
