About JPMorgan Chase & Co.
JPMorgan Chase is the biggest bank in America, worth close to 900 billion dollars. It holds checking accounts and credit cards for millions of families, helps giant companies raise money and trade, and manages 5.2 trillion dollars for investors. Think of it as the financial plumbing of the American economy.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- All Engines Humming
Every major part of JPMorgan grew this quarter, even without last quarter's one time windfall. Revenue rose 8 percent to 50.9 billion dollars and profit climbed 6 percent to 15.3 billion dollars, with sales split almost evenly between everyday consumers and big corporate clients. Consumer banking profit jumped 13 percent, and corporate and trading profit jumped 20 percent.
- Wealth Magnet
Families and big investors keep handing JPMorgan their money. Its wealth arm pulled in 263 billion dollars of new client money in just three months, pushing the total it manages to 5.2 trillion dollars, up 13 percent. On the everyday side, it added over 650,000 new checking accounts and stayed number one in U.S. retail deposits for the sixth year in a row.
- Market Mood Swings
About one fifth of JPMorgan's revenue comes from trading, which booms when markets are busy and fades when they go quiet. Trading revenue was 10.3 billion dollars, up 15 percent from a year ago, but bond trading fell 4 percent and deal-making fees slipped 8 percent from last quarter. Management said client activity cooled somewhat during the quarter, a reminder that busy markets do not last forever.
- Costs Creeping Up
Expenses rose 12 percent to 27.3 billion dollars, growing faster than revenue as JPMorgan pays more for staff, marketing, and technology. It also set aside 2.7 billion dollars to cover loans that could go bad, and CEO Jamie Dimon warned about sticky inflation, rising interest rates, and huge government deficits. If the economy stumbles, rising costs and bigger loan losses could squeeze profits fast.
