Investment Banking revenue was $2.6 billion, up 46% Y/Y, in the quarter. Investment Banking fees rose 49% Y/Y, led by higher fees across all products.

In AWM, Assets under management stood at $4.0 trillion, and client assets stood at $5.9 trillion (up 18%), driven by higher market levels and continued net inflows.
Net interest income fell 3% Y/Y to $23.5 billion in the quarter. Net interest income excluding Markets stood at $23.0 billion, down 2% Y/Y, due to lower rates and deposit margin compression along with lower deposit balances in CCB.
Noninterest revenue was $20.3 billion, up 29% Y/Y, in the quarter. Noninterest revenue, excluding Markets, increased 30% Y/Y to $13.7 billion, led by higher asset management fees in AWM and CCB, increased investment banking fees and lower net investment securities losses.

Outlook: JPMorgan expects FY25 net interest income, excluding Markets, of ~$90 billion and project card services NCO rate of ~3.60%.
Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO, said, “The U.S. economy has been resilient. Unemployment remains relatively low, and consumer spending stayed healthy, including during the holiday season. Businesses are more optimistic about the economy, and they are encouraged by expectations for a more pro-growth agenda and improved collaboration between government and business.”
“However, two significant risks remain. Ongoing and future spending requirements will likely be inflationary, and therefore, inflation may persist for some time. Additionally, geopolitical conditions remain the most dangerous and complicated since World War II.”
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via IShares U.S. Financial Services ETF (NYSE:IYG) and iShares U.S. Financial ETF (NYSE:IYF).
Price Action: JPM shares are up 0.29% at $248.18 premarket at the last check Wednesday.
