As a result of higher-than-expected interest income and lower-than-expected credit charges, JPMorgan Chase on Friday beat analysts’ expectations for third-quarter profit and revenue.
After the bank revealed third-quarter earnings that above analysts’ expectations, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) shares increased by more than 3%.
Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan, acknowledged the bank’s impressive performance and attributed the rise in profits to excessive net interest income and below-average credit costs. He did, however, also voice his worries about impending world wars.
“The Firm delivered another quarter of solid results, generating net income of $13.2 billion and an ROTCE of 22%—although, we acknowledge that these results benefit from our over-earning on both net interest income and below normal credit costs, both of which will normalize over time,” said CEO Jamie Dimon.
Net income for the third quarter climbed from $9.74 billion or $3.12 per share in the corresponding quarter of the previous year to $13.15 billion or $4.33 per share. First Republic’s net income for the quarter was $1.1 billion. Net income increased by 24% when First Republic was excluded.
The ability of JPMorgan Chase to outperform expectations in significant areas was what really distinguished it in this earnings report. The bank demonstrated its skill at seizing market opportunities by producing higher interest income than was anticipated. The bank’s credit costs also came in lower than anticipated, underscoring their successful risk management techniques.

“We are well-positioned to withstand any economic challenges that may come our way,” Dimon said in a statement. “We have a strong balance sheet, a diversified business model, and a talented team of employees.”
“The war in Ukraine compounded by last week’s attacks on Israel may have far-reaching impacts on energy and food markets, global trade, and geopolitical relationships,” Dimon said. “This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades. While we hope for the best, we prepare the firm for a broad range of outcomes.”
