JPMorgan Reports Q1 Net Income of $16.5 Billion
Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO, commented: "The Firm delivered strong results in the first quarter, reporting net income of $16.5 billion." Dimon continued: "Performance was strong across our businesses. In the CIB, revenue grew 19%. Markets revenue reached a record $11.6 billion, while IB fees increased 28% due to stronger advisory and ECM activity. Additionally, Payments continued to deliver very strong results, with double-digit growth in deposits and fees. In CCB, revenue rose 7%. We continued to acquire new customers at a robust rate across the franchise, including achieving record net inflows in self-directed investing and opening more than 450,000 net new checking accounts. Finally, in AWM, revenue increased 11%, and flows remained healthy with $54 billion of long-term AUM net inflows." Dimon added: "Regarding capital, we were pleased to see that the recent capital re-proposals mitigated the most severe consequences of the 2023 proposals. However, there are still aspects of the proposed rules that need to be addressed. We have ample amounts of capital and liquidity, with $291 billion in CET1 capital, $572 billion in total loss-absorbing capacity and $1.5 trillion in cash and marketable securities. We hope that regulators prioritize well-designed regulation and address these aspects of the proposed rules to allow banks of all sizes to deploy their resources to support the real economy." Dimon added: "The U.S. economy remained resilient in the quarter, with consumers still earning and spending and businesses still healthy. Several tailwinds are supporting this resiliency, including increased fiscal stimulus, the benefits of deregulation, AI-driven capital investment and the Fed's asset purchases. At the same time, there is an increasingly complex set of risks-such as geopolitical tensions and wars, energy price volatility, trade uncertainty, large global fiscal deficits and elevated asset prices. While we cannot predict how these risks and uncertainties will ultimately play out, they are significant and they reinforce why we prepare the Firm for a wide range of environments." Dimon concluded: "I want to express my deep gratitude to our employees across the globe for how they work to support our customers and communities every single day."
