JPMorgan Chase’s Q3 Earnings Miss Expectations! CEO Jamie Dimon Warns of Persistent Economic Undercurrents—High Deficits, Sticky Inflation, Elevated Asset Valuations, and Rising Interest Rates Pose Hidden Risks

On Tuesday, local time, JPMorgan Chase reported third-quarter earnings that fell short of Wall Street expectations, and its CEO Jamie Dimon warned that a series of economic risks remain in flux “beneath the surface.” Its profit rose 6% year-on-year to $15.3 billion, or $5.57 per share—below analysts’ consensus estimate of $5.90 per share. Net revenue rose 8% year-on-year to $50.2 billion, up from $46.4 billion a year earlier. The bank reported $658 million in securities losses during the quarter, driven by intensified bond market selloffs; excluding these losses, earnings per share were $5.75. By business segment, JPMorgan’s trading revenue rose 15% year-on-year to $10.3 billion—slightly below analyst expectations—while advisory fees for mergers and acquisitions rose 14%. However, revenues for both of these core Wall Street businesses declined sequentially. Core lending income and net interest income rose 13% to $27 billion. The bank also raised its full-year net interest income guidance—excluding markets-related revenue—by $1 billion to $97.5 billion, and lifted its 2027 forecast for the same metric to $107 billion. In its consumer business, JPMorgan’s average credit card loan balance rose 7% year-on-year, while its credit card charge-off rate declined from 3.15% to 2.91%. Wells Fargo and Citigroup, which also reported earnings on Tuesday morning, both noted rising expenses and improved consumer credit losses compared with the prior year. These results suggest that U.S. consumers have remained resilient thus far, despite rising interest rates. Notably, JPMorgan’s Corporate & Investment Bank revenue declined 9% sequentially to $22.7 billion, interrupting the sustained strength in M&A advisory profits seen earlier this year.
