Editor's Note: Below, Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld lifts the hood on a banking giant whose 2.2% yield is likely to grow as the Federal Reserve lifts restrictions on the sector. This bank, along with several others, has caught "crypto fever," taking advantage of digital currency's spectacular run to add to its noninterest income. It's one of many stocks that directly or indirectly benefit from crypto's rise. In fact, right now, Marc has his eye on one stock in particular that offers potential upside exposure to 36-plus crypto opportunities for just $30. Click here to learn more. - Mable Buchanan, Managing Editor SAFETY NET Count On This Banking Giant Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford Club Everyone has crypto fever these days. Even the giant financial institutions. Big banks, like Citigroup (NYSE: C) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), are getting in on the action. At this stage of the game, crypto probably doesn't move the needle for these behemoths. They do just fine with investment banking businesses, trading desks, loans and other channels that bring in billions in revenue. As a result of their big profits, they pay shareholders dividends. And those dividends may be about to get larger. The Federal Reserve has limited the dividends banks are allowed to pay since the pandemic began. But in March, it said it will lift the ban shortly - probably at the end of June - if the banks pass the Fed's stress tests, which they are expected to do. That could mean a meaningful increase for shareholders of banks like JPMorgan Chase, which currently yields 2.2%. But while the bank may be allowed to raise its dividend, should it? Let's take a look at the bank's numbers to see whether it can afford to hike the dividend once the Federal Reserve gives the green light... When we analyze banks, the key metric we look at is net interest income (NII). Admittedly, companies like JPMorgan generate revenue from other sources, like investment banking, that is not reflected in net interest income. But NII is the most conservative measure we can look at. If the dividend is safe when analyzing NII, then it most definitely will be when adding in other sources of revenue. SPONSORED He Called Bitcoin at $654 [THIS COULD BE EVEN BIGGER] This tech expert predicted Bitcoin's rise at $654. It went on to soar 2,881% in just 17 months. And he just spotted a similar setup that could be even more profitable for fast-moving investors. It involves a cabal of Silicon Valley elites, the U.S. Department of Defense and five DIRT CHEAP microcap stocks with EXPLOSIVE upside. Get the scoop now... JPMorgan Chase's NII slipped a little last year to $54.6 billion from $57.2 billion in 2019. That's not surprising considering that, aside from Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans funded by the government to keep people on payrolls, lending fell as many businesses weren't able to function. This year, NII growth is forecast to be a hair over flat compared with 2020's NII. So NII isn't trending higher, which isn't great. Let's see whether the company can pay the dividend even with the dip in NII... Last year, JPMorgan paid $12.7 billion in dividends. This year, that figure is forecast to inch up to $13 billion - though that likely doesn't include any assumed raises once the Fed lifts the restrictions on bank dividends. If the 2021 estimates are correct, JPMorgan will pay just 23% of its NII to shareholders in dividends. Heck, even if JPMorgan Chase doubled its dividend, it would still pay less than half of NII in dividends. And don't forget it has those other noninterest-related revenues and profits on top of NII. It's not like JPMorgan is lending out Ethereum. It's getting noninterest income from its crypto and other activities. (To learn more about how to play the boom in crypto using stocks, click here!) Lastly, JPMorgan Chase has hiked its dividend in each of the past 10 years. The dividend is now more than double what it was before the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009. While NII growth is weak, the company's low payout ratio and strong track record of dividend increases mean the dividend is extremely safe. I expect JPMorgan Chase to raise the dividend for an 11th straight year once the Federal Reserve loosens the regulations on bank dividends.
