JPMorgan’s 1Q18 Impresses on Taxes, Trading, and Banking
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) posted EPS (earnings per share) of $2.37 in 1Q18, beating analysts’ estimate of $2.28 aided by tax cuts, higher investment banking and trading revenues, banking growth, and higher interest spreads and partially offset by the subdued performance of its Asset Management segment. The bank posted revenue of $28.5 billion, up 11% on a sequential basis and 10% on a YoY (year-over-year) basis.
