BofA Finance LLC vs JPMORGAN CHASE & CO, two Banks—Regional stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
A bank's balance sheet is the business, and the way to read one is return on assets: JPMorgan squeezes 1.2% from each dollar of balance sheet, Bank of America 0.9%. Carried through to equity that becomes 16.2% against 10.5%. The market pays for the difference almost exactly, 16.3 times earnings for JPMorgan and 15.2 for Bank of America, so the premium per unit of profitability is thin. Net margins run 31.5% and 27.3% in the same order. The prices agree neither franchise is going anywhere and disagree, mildly, about who compounds faster from here.
