JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) reported third-quarter 2025 net income of $14.4 billion, or $5.07 per share, up 12% year over year, beating the $4.84 analyst estimate as sales of $47.12 billion topped expectations of $45.39 billion.

Net interest income increased 2% to $24.1 billion, and noninterest revenue climbed 16% to $23.0 billion. Noninterest expense advanced 8% to $24.3 billion, driven by higher compensation, marketing, and distribution costs.

Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said, “While there have been some signs of a softening, particularly in job growth, the U.S. economy generally remained resilient. However, there continues to be a heightened degree of uncertainty stemming from complex geopolitical conditions, tariffs and trade uncertainty, elevated asset prices and the risk of sticky inflation.”
