Whose results will you be watching this week? For me, it's definitely JPMorgan $JPM+3.5%, which I continue to hold in my portfolio. Analysts here are expecting year-over-year earnings per share growth (about 30%) and sales up about 20% from last quarter. That doesn't look bad at all, so I'm hoping it turns green on Friday.
I will definitely be watching the results of $PEP-0.3%, $UNH-0.3%, $C+2.2% and $JPM+3.5%.
$PEP-0.3%, although I don't expect any big surprises there. It won't be a buying opportunity.
JPM has been on a good run for a long time, especially after this year, when the bank grew even more thanks to the banking crisis. I expect a gradual rise to higher prices, I don't think breaking $170 will be a problem.
