JPMorgan Chase tops earnings estimates
JPMorgan Chase (JPM), the nation’s biggest bank by assets, said Friday its third-quarter profit surged 24 percent over the year-earlier period as benefits from recent tax reforms offset slowing revenue from the bank's trading desk.
Third-quarter earnings per share were $2.34, surpassing analysts expectations for profits of $2.26 per share. For the quarter, JPM's revenue came in at $27.3 billion, managed revenue was $27.82 billion. It is unclear it that is comparable to the analyst estimate for revenue of $27.54 billion.
