JPMorgan's Earnings Rise Despite Concerns Over Interest Income and Expenses
JPMorgan's shares fell after reporting that its net interest income slightly missed analyst estimates, indicating that the benefit of higher interest rates may be diminishing. The firm earned $23.1 billion in NII in the first quarter of 2024, up 11% from a year earlier, but lifted its guidance excluding the markets business to about $89 billion. Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Barnum stated that the lower expected markets-related NII would be "bottom-line neutral."
