Amid the swirling mists of financial speculation, the investment banking arm of TD Bank has ventured a bold prophecy: the market cap of JPMorgan will ascend to the lofty heights of $1 trillion, buoyed by the transformative winds of artificial intelligence (AI).
In a recent interview with CNBC, TD Cowen’s bank analyst, Steven Alexopoulos, with a twinkle in his eye, opined that investors are currently positioning themselves in tech stocks, much like prospectors panning for gold, in the hopes of capturing the vast potential of AI.
Mr. Alexopoulos, with a sly smile, noted that investors are perhaps underexposed to the very stocks that will rally once AI is embraced for commercial use. “When you think about where we are right now with AI, we’re at the builder level. The focus is on Nvidia, the focus is OpenAI, the builders. I believe we’re inside of two years, maybe one, where the focus will widen out from the builders to who is going to use this technology to unlock massive economic value,” he mused.
“That’s exactly what we saw on the internet. As the internet was being built, the focus was on Cisco, IBM, and as the layer was built, it moved to Google with search and Amazon selling commerce. When you think about the S&P 493… You need to focus on sectors that are reliant on people, knowledge workers, that is what will be disrupted by artificial intelligence.”
According to the TD Cowen analyst, banks, with their vast troves of data and intricate networks, are poised to be the major beneficiaries of AI advancements, with JPMorgan leading the charge like a knight in shining armor.
Alexopoulos, with a knowing nod, mentioned that while JPMorgan’s head of consumer banking, Marianne Lake, expects the division’s headcount to decline by about 10% over the next five years, he believes that projection is conservative and anticipates a 20% reduction instead. “JPMorgan’s growth will continue despite the significant drop in employee count,” he declared, as if predicting the inevitable march of progress.
“[JPMorgan] is only richly valued relative to history, and that history did not include the most transformational technology of our lifetimes. Banks will break to a new valuation paradigm… By the end of next year, [JPMorgan] will be a trillion-dollar market-cap company,” he prophesied, his voice tinged with a mix of excitement and certainty.
As of Monday’s close, JPMorgan’s market cap stands at $811 billion, a figure that, in the grand scheme of things, might as well be the starting line of a marathon to the trillion-dollar finish line. 🏃♂️💰
