JP Morgan's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on JP Morgan is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $99.50 short put and a strike $94.00 long put offers a potential 27.02% return on risk over the next 7 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bull Put Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were above $99.50 by expiration. The full premium credit of $1.17 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $4.33 would be incurred if the stock dropped below the $94.00 long put strike price.

Citigroup: What to Expect in the Fourth Quarter
(Continued from Prior Part)
## Operating leverage to drive efficiency
Citigroup (C) managed to improve its efficiency ratio in the first three quarters. During the last reported quarter, Citigroup’s efficiency ratio was 56.1%—down from 56.6% in the same quarter the previous year. Citigroup’s efficiency ratio was 57.3% at the end of the third quarter on a year-to-date basis. The improvement reflects operating leverage, better expense management, and improved asset quality.
Citigroup’s management expects the cost of credit to remain stable during the fourth quarter and increase the efficiency ratio by 100 basis points. Management expects the fiscal efficiency ratio to be 57.3%. Although the fourth-quarter revenues are expected to remain pressured, the expenses are projected to decline.
## Balance sheet
Citigroup’s continued focus on expanding its quality loan portfolio and deposits could strengthen its balance sheet. During the last reported quarter, Citigroup’s total assets rose 2% year-over-year to ~$1.93 trillion due to higher deposits, increased lending, and new assets. However, getting rid of some legacy assets partially offset the growth.
An improving macro backdrop, like a healthy job market and increased wages, could boost banks’ (XLF) deposits. Rate spreads are expected to drive lending. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) also reported increased loans and deposits.

Citigroup: What to Expect in the Fourth Quarter
(Continued from Prior Part)
## Analysts’ estimate
Analysts expect Citigroup (C) to report total revenues of $17.8 billion, which implies an increase of 3.1% YoY (year-over-year). Citigroup’s management expects the revenues to increase on a YoY basis during the fourth quarter despite the expected sequential slowdown in the ICG (Institutional Clients Group), equity, and fixed income market revenues.
Analysts expect JPMorgan Chase’s (JPM) revenues to increase 6.7% during the fourth quarter. Bank of America’s (BAC) revenues are expected to increase 4.6%. However, Wells Fargo’s (WFC) revenues are expected to remain soft.
## Growth drivers
Citigroup’s fourth-quarter revenues are expected to benefit from growth in loans and deposits and rate spreads. Latin America is expected to sustain the momentum with projected growth in mortgage, commercial, and card loans and increased deposits.
The banking revenues in the ICG segment are projected to improve on a YoY basis due to continued momentum in Treasury and Trade Solutions, Private Bank, Securities Services, and Corporate Lending. The investment banking revenues are expected to improve in the fourth quarter on a sequential and YoY basis due to the backlogs. Lower market activity will likely impact the underwriting fees and the overall segment.
Citigroup’s Retail Banking revenues, excluding mortgages and retail services in the North America Consumer Banking segment, are expected to improve due to growth in deposit spreads and investments. Mortgage revenues could continue to slide, which reflects lower origination activity and higher funding costs.
