This means that the bank will outperform competitor Bank of America (BAC) by more than $20bn. Should these Bloomberg predictions be on target, JPMorgan will also more than double the annual net profits of Wells Fargo (WFC) and more than quadruple those of Citigroup (C).</p>

<p>This bank closed its Tuesday trading at $170.66 per share and recorded an all-time high of $172.27 on 5 January. Yahoo Finance quoted Wells Fargo analyst, Mike Mayo, who summed the scenario up as:</p>
<blockquote><p>Goliath is winning and they are the Goliath of Goliaths.</p></blockquote>
<p>Experts warn, however, that no bank can escape the prevailing economic challenges, and <a href="https://www.leaprate.com/news/grayscale-in-talks-with-jpmorgan-and-goldman-sachs-over-bitcoin-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JPMorgan</a> will be hard-pressed to sustain this financial stamina throughout 2024. Those in the know predict a poorer fourth quarter compared to 2022 and that profits may plunge to roughly $45bn during this year.</p>
<p>Some of the possible obstacles include renewed strain on loan margins, increasing loan derelictions, and more intense financial regulations. Another worrying factor is the decreased interest rates on loans in anticipation of Federal Reserve rate cuts. The proof is however in the pudding and will only be certain on Friday.</p>
