US Bank’s Q3 earnings kicked off today before the bell rang with heavyweight JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) leading the way. The anticipation and scrutiny of today’s results should come as no surprise, as investors get a view of banking performance in a bearish market and high interest rate environment. Bank earnings expectations has been continually downgraded over the past few months particularly within the corporate and investment banking sectors. We heard comments from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon yesterday who stated it’s unlikely the US FED will be able to tame inflation without bringing on a recession. Should a recession be brought on Dimon said markets could retreat a further 20% to 30% while reiterating his faith in FED Chair Jerome Powell.
The earnings release saw revenue beat estimates with the investment banking division a particular surprise. Net interest income surged 34% as central banks rate hikes worked in the banks favor and offset losses in other sectors. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon stated his hopes to resume share buybacks early next year. He did urge caution as he stated there are significant headwinds immediately in front of us which include stubbornly high inflation leading to higher global interest rates, the uncertain impacts of quantitative tightening, the war in Ukraine which is increasing all geopolitical risks and the fragile state of oil supply and prices.
