JPMorgan announced its first-quarter earnings on Friday, reporting results that exceeded expectations. The bank stated that earnings for the three months ending in March reached $4.44 per share, representing an 8.3% increase from the previous year and surpassing the Wall Street consensus forecast of $4.15 per share.
The company’s reported revenue increased by 6.6% to $41.93 billion, outpacing analysts’ estimates of $41.84 billion. Managed revenue also rose, showing a 1.6% increase to $42.5 billion, exceeding Wall Street’s predictions.
As the fifth-largest bank globally, JPMorgan commands a market value of approximately $630 billion, managing assets totaling around $3.2 trillion. A noteworthy aspect of the earnings report was the rise in net interest income, which climbed 11% to $23.2 billion. This growth was attributed partly to the prevailing higher interest rate environment and diminished expectations that the Federal Reserve would cut rates in the near future.
Following the earnings release, JPMorgan’s shares showed movement in premarket trading, suggesting an opening bell price adjustment.
