Other banks report Earnings
JPMorgan Chase is not the only bank reporting its quarterly earnings this week. This is a big week for banking institutions, and we also saw earnings statements from Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo.
Because of an upswing in investment banking, Goldman Sachs was able to report a better than expected earnings statement. They made $4.1 billion in profits, which is a 37% increase from a year earlier. However, their stock value dropped as well on Tuesday by 1.25%
Wells Fargo also reported earnings for the last quarter this week. Their stock climbed by an impressive 6.88% on Tuesday as they reported revenue of $21.44 billion for the quarter. That is a 5.3% increase from the year before, and they also beat earnings expectations on earnings per share, reporting $1.66. That is $0.11 more than expected.
In the current economic climate, banking institutions and companies need to perform very well on their quarterly reports to impress investors. Stockholders are worried about rising inflation, and investors want to see significant growth to feel secure, and that is making it harder for even major banks to see a stock price increase after a decent quarterly report.
