Financial Highlights
| Metric | Current Period | Prior Period | Change | Investor Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Net Interest Income | $95.4B | $92.6B | +3.0% | Driven by higher average loans and deposits, partially offset by narrower spreads on loans. |
Non-Interest Income | $87.0B | $85.0B | +2.4% | Reflects higher asset management fees and investment banking fees, partially offset by the absence of a $7.9B Visa gain in the prior year. |
Net Income | $57.0B | $58.5B | −2.6% | Decrease primarily due to lower net interest income in Corporate and higher noninterest expense, partially offset by higher revenue in CIB and AWM. |
Diluted EPS | $20.0 | $19.8 | +1.4% | Increase reflects lower share count from repurchases, more than offsetting the decline in net income. |
Total Assets | $4.4T | $4.0T | +10.5% | Growth driven by higher loans and investment securities. |
Cash & Equivalents | $343.3B | $469.3B | −26.9% | Decrease reflects deployment of cash into higher-yielding assets and shareholder returns. |
Operating Cash Flow | -$147.8B | -$42.0B | +251.9% | Driven by changes in trading assets and liabilities, and higher net cash used in lending activities. |
Investing Cash Flow | -$265.6B | -$163.4B | +62.5% | Primarily due to higher net purchases of investment securities. |
Financing Cash Flow | $269.5B | $63.4B | +325.1% | Reflects higher net issuances of long-term debt and deposits, partially offset by increased share repurchases. |
