The firm posted a return on equity (ROE) of 17% and a return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 20%.

Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said, “While there have been some signs of a softening, particularly in job growth, the U.S. economy generally remained resilient. However, there continues to be a heightened degree of uncertainty stemming from complex geopolitical conditions, tariffs and trade uncertainty, elevated asset prices and the risk of sticky inflation.”

The bank maintained a strong balance sheet, ending the quarter with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 14.8% under the Standardized approach and 14.9% under the Advanced approach.

Credit costs were $3.4 billion, including $2.6 billion of net charge-offs and an $810 million reserve build, driven mainly by Wholesale and Card Services. Book value per share increased 9% to $124.96, and tangible book value per share rose 10% to $105.70.

In Consumer & Community Banking, net income rose 24% to $5.0 billion on 9% revenue growth to $19.5 billion, led by stronger deposit margin income and asset management fees. Card Services and Auto revenue climbed 12% to $7.2 billion, with debit and credit card sales volume up 9% and active mobile customers up 7%.
