Dimon: Business Conditions Nearly 'As Good As It Gets' After Blowout Q2
JPM sits 23% above its 52-week low of $279.1.
Summary
CEO Jamie Dimon described current business conditions as nearly 'as good as it gets' on the Q2 earnings call, citing a 'healthy, active, exuberant market with very high prices and very high volumes.' The remarks follow this morning's massive Q2 beat—net income surged 41% to $21.2B on record revenue. Dimon tempered the optimism by noting he doesn't know how long the favorable environment will continue, adding a note of caution to an otherwise bullish outlook. This qualitative read from the CEO adds color to the already-reported numbers and may influence sentiment around the sustainability of JPM's earnings momentum.
