- Risk Warning: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results or future performance. All trading is high risk, and you can lose more than you risk on a trade. Never invest more than you can afford to lose as some trades will lose and some trades will win. Start small to understand your own risk tolerance levels or practice on a demo account first to build your knowledge before investing.
- Trading is not suitable for everyone. Trading is highly speculative and carries a significant risk of loss. While it offers potential opportunities, it also involves high volatility, and leveraged trading can amplify both gains and losses. Retail investors should fully understand these risks before trading.
JPMorgan Fiscal Q1 2025 Performance
Here are some of the key highlights from the fiscal first-quarter 2025 earnings report from JPMorgan:
- Earnings per share: $5.07
- Revenue: $46.01 billion vs $44.11 billion expected
- Q1 Profit up 9% to $14.64 billion
- Equities Trading Revenue: Up 48% to $3.8 billion
- Assets Under Management (AUM): Up 15% year-on-year to $4.1 trillion
JPMorgan earned $4.91 per share against an expected $4.61 per share, if you exclude its one-time gain of 16 cents per share from its First Republic acquisition. Overall, the bank beat analyst expectations on most financial metrics.
As with other investment banking rivals, the bank’s equities trading revenue surged 48% higher to $3.8 billion due to the increased volatility in global markets. The bank repurchased $7 billion of common stocks in the quarter and increased its common dividend by 12%.
While CEO Jamie Dimon stated that the increase in capital return was supported by strong earnings revenue and high capital levels. However, he also struck a more cautious tone by stating the economy is facing considerable turbulence.
In the earnings release, he went on to add that there are potential positives of tax reform and deregulation, as well as potential negatives from tariffs, trade wars, high fiscal deficits and inflation. Some of these headwinds are just a few reasons of many, on why some analysts have moved to a hold rating on the stock as highlighted below.

An example trading idea for the JPMorgan share price could be as follows:
- Buy the stock on a break above its post-earnings high around $240.00 to allow for volatility.
- Target just below the highest analyst price target of $330.00.
- Keep your risk small at a maximum of 5% of your total account.

Remember that markets go up and down. In fact, the stock price may even go much further down, especially as it is down over 15% from its record high from February 2025, and the economic headwinds highlighted in JPMorgan’s earnings report.
