JPMorgan Chase & Co. is one of the largest banks in the world with a financial footprint that reaches nearly every facet of the US and world economies.
Weeks ago the Fed announced it will allow the biggest banks to start share buybacks once again in Q1 of 2021, a move that not only benefits the banks but its shareholders as well.
Given the Fed decision, banks have gone on a massive run, with $JPM, $BAC, and $GS going on big rallies from near lows. Now weeks later the banks are still down year to date, and many wonder if the megabanks are still a buy.
Not only that, but JPMorgan recently announced the partial acquisition of cxLoyalty Groups, making a big bet on the travel recovery coming out of the pandemic.
