JPMorgan Chase Q4 Results Top Estimates; Shares Fall 6%

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) delivered solid 4Q 2021 results, with both EPS and revenue topping the consensus estimates. JPM benefited from elevated capital markets activity and a pick-up in lending activities. On January 14, JPM stock exited the market at $157.89, a decline of 6.15%.

JPMorgan is a U.S. company that provides financial and investment banking services. It operates through Consumer & Community Banking, Corporate & Investment Bank, Commercial Banking, and Asset & Wealth Management segments.

Financial Performance in 4Q

The company delivered Q4 revenue of $30.3 billion, up 1% year-over-year and exceeded consensus estimates of $29.9 billion. Non-interest revenue dropped 1% year-over-year to $16.6 billion, driven by lower revenue in Corporate Investment Banking (CIB) markets and Home Lending.

Net income landed at $10.4 billion, down 14% year-over-year due to higher non-interest expense. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) stood at $3.33, better-than consensus estimates of $3.01. Net interest income moved up by 3% year-over-year to $13.7 billion, driven by balance sheet growth but partially offset by lower interest income in CIB markets.

Net income on the Consumer & Business Banking segment fell 2% to $4.2 billion, as net revenue fell 4% to $12.3 billion. The Corporate & Investment Bank (CIB) registered a 9% year-over-year decline in net income to $4.8 billion, as net revenue of CIB fell 2% to $11.5 billion.

The Commercial Banking segment, on the other hand, posted a 38% decline in net income to $1.3 billion, driven by lower credit reserves compared to the same period last year. Net income in the Asset & Wealth Management (AWM) Segment jumped 46% to $1.1 billion as revenue grew 16% to $4.5 billion.

JPM extended credit and rose over $3 trillion in capital for consumers and institutional clients worldwide during the year. The financial services company also accelerated investments to expand its product distribution capabilities
