(Reuters) -JPMorgan Chase & Co reported a smaller-than-feared drop in third-quarter profit on Friday, as a rise in interest income cushioned a blow from higher loan loss provisions and a slump in dealmaking due to a worsening economic outlook.
Shares of the largest U.S. bank rose nearly 4% after the results, which are being closely watched to assess the real impact on corporate America of the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes to tamp down inflation.
Typically, rising rates are good for banks as they can charge more interest from borrowers, but a potential economic slowdown due to a higher cost of borrowing is also seen as a risk to future earnings.
Chief Executive Jamie Dimon also highlighted those risks, while noting that the American consumers had kept up spending and businesses remained healthy.
He flagged stubbornly high inflation leading to rising global interest rates, the uncertain impacts of quantitative tightening, the war in Ukraine and the fragile state of oil supply and prices as near-term headwinds.
"While we are hoping for the best, we always remain vigilant and are prepared for bad outcomes."
JPMorgan (NYSE:)'s net interest income, excluding markets, rose 51% in the quarter, driven by higher rates. The bank also raised its estimate for the year by about $3.5 billion to $61.5 billion.
SIMPLY SOLID RESULTS
Revenue rose 10% to $32.72 billion, helped by a 22% increase in revenue from fixed income trading. Overall, markets revenue rose 8%.
Dimon did not give any specific forecast for revenue from markets saying it was difficult to determine, given increased volatility.
The bank's adjusted profit was $3.36 per share, well above analysts' average estimate of $2.88, according to Refinitiv data.
"Simply put, JPMorgan delivered a solid set of results, from top to bottom," Credit Suisse analyst Susan Roth Katzke said.
"At least equally as important is the evidence of preparedness to manage through whatever turn the macro takes."
Net profit, however, fell 17% to $9.74 billion as it set aside $808 million in reserves. By comparison, in the same quarter last year, the bank had released $2.1 billion of reserves.
Revenue from investment banking, one of the bank's biggest businesses, slumped 43% to $1.7 billion as a mix of high inflation and fears of looming recession forced buyers and sellers to hit pause on deals.
Dimon said he expects sequentially lower investment banking revenue for the fourth quarter.
At (NYSE:), revenue from the business more than halved, while (NYSE:)'s investment banking revenue tumbled 64%.
JPMorgan's stock has fallen 31% so far this year, underperforming the broader 's 23% drop in the same period.
