  • Excluding that one-time item, quarterly profit rose to $14.7 billion, or $5.23 per share, beating the $4.85 consensus estimate.
  • Firmwide revenue grew 7% to $45.8 billion and net interest income increased 7% to $25.1 billion, with payments revenue hitting a record $5.1 billion.
  • For 2025, net income came in at $57 billion as annual revenue reached an all-time high of $182 billion, marking the bank’s second-best year for profit.
  • Guidance for 2026 calls for about $105 billion in expenses and roughly $95 billion in net interest income, with credit-card profitability facing uncertainty from a proposed 10% rate cap by President Trump that analysts question.
