JPMorgan kicks off earnings season with bad news
CNN
JPMorgan Chase kicked off earnings season Wednesday with some bad news: First-quarter profit fell 42% from a year ago, driven lower by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, high levels of inflation and supply chain problems.
The largest US bank by assets is often viewed as a bellwether for the rest of Wall Street. JPMorgan (JPM) posted a profit of $8.3 billion, or $2.63 per share in the first quarter of 2022, compared with $14.3 billion, or $4.50 per share the year prior.
Analysts expected earnings of $2.69 per share, according to Refinitiv.

It was almost an extraordinary scene in front of the White House. As Tesla shares have been tanking since the year began, President Donald Trump held remarks outside of the White House with the company’s CEO and Department of Government Efficiency Head Elon Musk – all in front of a line of shiny Tesla vehicles.
