The firm’s profit figure came in above analysts' expectations, surveyed by Refinitiv, which provided an estimate of $2.45 a share. During the quarter, JP Morgan also achieved record revenue of $30.1 billion.
On a yearly comparison, revenue has achieved a growth of eight percent. It is also stronger by two percent than the second quarter of 2019. The revenue also surpassed wall street estimates of $28.5 billion.
