1. π¦ JPMorgan: Raised NII Outlook
JPMorgan Chase exceeded expectations in Q3 2024, reporting a surprise 3% increase in net interest income (NII) to $23.4 billion and raising its full-year NII forecast to $92.5 billion (previously $91 billion). The bank saw continued strength in consumer spending and a resilient US economy. Still, it increased its provision for credit losses to $3.1 billion, primarily for credit cards, signaling a degree of caution about future loan performance.
The Commercial & Investment Bank segment was the quarter's highlight, growing 8% to $17 billion. The key driver? Investment banking fees surged by 31% to $2.3 billion, boosted by strong dealmaking and capital market activity. Despite these positive results, CEO Jamie Dimon expressed caution about the economic outlook, citing geopolitical risks and other challenges.
