About the company

In 2000, JP Morgan & Co. merged with Chase Manhattan Corp. to form JPMorgan Chase. Assets With a total assets of over $2 trillion, JP Morgan is the largest bank in the United States by almost any metric: assets, sales, profits, and market value. Stock price JP Morgan stock has always been a bell-weather of the American economy. In 2008, with the sub-prime mortgage-related financial crisis, all banks were in jeopardy of bankruptcy. JP Morgan was one of those that survived, though the stock price plunged from $48 to $16 in less than six months. The price quickly recovered to $46 in the following seven months. As of 7.23.11, the price is $42.19. Dividend JP Morgan now pays a 2.4% dividend. This is good by current bank standards. As the banks recover from the sub prime crisis, the dividend may rise in the future. Price/earnings ratio (p/e), short interest, and revenue growth With a low p/e of 9, less than 1% of the stock sold short, and revenue growth of 15%, the stock price seems at least fair, and probably a bargain.
