Banking major JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported Friday higher earnings and revenues for its first quarter, both above Street estimates. The company said its lines of business recorded continued momentum in the quarter.
In pre-market activity on the NYSE, JPMorgan shares were gaining around 6.03 percent.
Looking ahead, Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO, said, "The U.S. economy continues to be on generally healthy footings—consumers are still spending and have strong balance sheets, and businesses are in good shape. However, the storm clouds that we have been monitoring for the past year remain on the horizon, and the banking industry turmoil adds to these risks... We also continue to monitor for potentially higher inflation for longer (and thus higher interest rates), the inflationary impact of continued fiscal stimulus, the unprecedented quantitative tightening, and geopolitical tensions including relations with China and the unpredictable war in Ukraine."
