Wells Fargo maintains an 'Outperform' on JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM).

Analyst, Matthew H. Burnell, said, "JPM reported GAAP EPS of $1.21, ahead of our $0.83 estimate and essentially inline with the downwardly revised $1.19 level in Q1 despite $4.4B of CIO losses (vs. our $3.5B estimate)...We peg ''core'' EPS at $0.82, ahead of our $0.74 estimate due to better-than-feared core trading results. Overall, we consider the quarter relatively stronger than expected (core ROTCE of 10%) due to solid underlying business performance, which should support JPM shares."

Burnell also noted that $30B of the remaining synthetic credit positions have been transferred to the IB, so additional CIO losses now appear unlikely. Extreme simulated scenarios indicate potential remaining loss between $800M to $1.6B.
