JPMorgan: Robust Preferred Dividends Thanks To An Exceptional Performance

  • JPMorgan's Q1 results demonstrate robust profitability, with preferred dividends covered even under severe earnings stress, supporting the safety of preferred shares. I favor JPMorgan's preferred shares for their risk/reward profile, especially given their seniority over common equity and the bank's strong financials. While yields on JPMorgan preferreds aren't the highest, the bank's stability justifies a slightly lower return compared to peers like Wells Fargo.
