JP Morgan (JPM, $100.61) tops Q3 earnings expectations
JPMorgan Chase & Co. earnings for the third quarter earnings surpassed expectations, amid the bank’s reduction of its credit loss provisions.
The financial behemoth’s earnings for the three months ending in September came in at $2.92 per share, well ahead of the Street consensus forecast of $2.22 per share.
Revenues fell -0.66% year-over-year to $29.9 billion, again beating analysts' expectations of $28.3 billion.
JPMorgan’s credit loss provision for the quarter rose by $611 million, much lower figure than the front-loaded $10.5 billion booked over the quarter ending in June. The amount is also lower than market expectation of $1.8 billion to $6 billion.
Expenses rose from last year to $16.9 billion.
“JPMorgan Chase earned $9.4 billion of net income on nearly $30 billion of revenue and we maintained our credit reserves at $34 billion given significant economic uncertainty and a broad range of potential outcomes," CEO Jamie Dimon said. "We further strengthened our capital and liquidity position, increasing CET1 capital to $198 billion (13.0% CET1 ratio, up 60 basis points after paying the dividend) and liquidity sources to $1.3 trillion."
Dimon said the bank could resume its share buybacks in the first quarter of next year, depending on the Federal Reserve's cap on shareholder returns, which was extended until the end of 2020 earlier.
According to Tickeron's AI-powered scorecard, JPM is a "STRONG BUY".
