JPMorgan Chase Q2 2024 results: Revenue soars with investment banking gains

by July 12, 2024
written by July 12, 2024

JPMorgan Chase reported impressive second-quarter results on Friday, surpassing analysts’ expectations in both profit and revenue, driven by a significant surge in investment banking fees.

JPMorgan Chase Q2 2024 highlights

Earnings: $4.26 per share adjusted vs. $4.19 estimate

Revenue: $50.99 billion vs. $49.87 billion estimate

Strong earnings and revenue growth

JPMorgan Chase’s earnings for the second quarter jumped 25% from the previous year, reaching $18.15 billion, or $6.12 per share.

Adjusted earnings, excluding items related to the bank’s stake in Visa, stood at $4.26 per share, exceeding analysts’ expectations.

Revenue saw a 20% increase to $50.99 billion, topping the consensus estimate of $49.87 billion.

Surge in investment banking and trading

The robust performance was primarily driven by a 52% surge in investment banking fees, reaching $2.3 billion, which exceeded the StreetAccount estimate by approximately $300 million.

Additionally, equities trading revenue jumped 21% to $3 billion, surpassing estimates by $230 million, due to strong derivatives results. Fixed income trading also saw a 5% increase to $4.8 billion, aligning with market expectations.

CEO Jamie Dimon’s outlook

JPMorgan Chase’s CEO Jamie Dimon highlighted the firm’s cautious stance on potential future risks, including inflation and interest rates, despite the current favorable stock and bond valuations.

“The geopolitical situation remains complex and potentially the most dangerous since World War II — though its outcome and effect on the global economy remain unknown,” Dimon said.

He also pointed out ongoing inflationary pressures from large fiscal deficits, infrastructure needs, trade restructuring, and global remilitarization.

Provisions for credit losses

Despite the strong performance in investment banking and trading, JPMorgan had a $3.05 billion provision for credit losses in the quarter, exceeding the $2.78 billion estimate.

This provision indicates the bank’s expectation of increased borrower defaults in the future. The rise in charge-offs and the move to build loan loss reserves were driven by the firm’s massive credit-card business.

JPMorgan’s consumer outlook

Despite some concerns, JPMorgan CFO Jeremy Barnum expressed a relatively positive outlook on the consumer segment during a call with reporters.

He noted that overall, the consumer picture remains healthy, despite some weakness in the lower-income segment. “About half of the increase in card reserves was tied to rising balances,” Barnum said.

He emphasized that the overall picture on charge-offs aligns with a story of normalization rather than deterioration, suggesting a potential soft landing for the economy.

JPMorgan Chase’s second-quarter results highlight the bank’s strong performance in investment banking and trading, despite some caution regarding future credit losses and economic challenges. 

The firm’s ability to exceed revenue and profit expectations underscores its resilience and strategic agility in a dynamic market environment. As the economy continues to evolve, JPMorgan remains a key player to watch in the financial sector.
