The company’s investment banking revenue increased 46% from the same period the previous year, and JPMorgan‘s fees for all of its products increased 49%, which led to better-than-expected earnings. Following the report, JPMorgan shares increased by roughly 1.5% to $251.09 during intraday trade on Wednesday. In the last year, they had gained about fifty percent.
The results came as the U.S. economy has been resilient, noting unemployment remains relatively low, and consumer spending stayed healthy, including during the holiday season. Businesses are more optimistic about the economy, and they are encouraged by expectations for a more pro-growth agenda and improved collaboration between government and business.
