Heading into today, shares of the biggest U.S. bank by assets had gained 6.41% over the past month, lagging the Finance sector's gain of 8.81% and the S&P 500's gain of 6.55% in that time.

JPM's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $9.94 per share and revenue of $113.84 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +10.44% and +4.41%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for JPM should also be noted by investors. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
