Optimistic banks start moving 'bad' loans back to 'good'

(AP Photo/Mark Lennihan)CHARLOTTE, N.C. โ€“ The pandemic and recession arenโ€™t over by a long shot, but banks are feeling optimistic enough to start taking potentially โ€œbadโ€ loans off their books and move them back into the โ€œgoodโ€ pile. Citigroup had a similar story, releasing $1.5 billion of its loan-loss reserves that it had set aside earlier last year. Still, those amounts are just a fraction of the tens of billions of dollars into their so-called loan-loss reserves to cover potentially bad loans in the first months of the pandemic. In releasing funds from loan-loss reserves, the banks cited the improvement in the economy. JPMorgan still has more than $30 billion tied up in its loan-loss reserves, and banks like Citi and Wells have similar figures on their balance sheets.

The driver of JPMorgan's profits this quarter was the investment banking business. The corporate and investment bank posted a profit of $5.35 billion compared with $2.94 billion in the same period a year earlier.

Bid to address health costs by 3 corporate giants is over

Bank profits remain resilient despite lingering pandemic

Bank profits remain resilient despite lingering pandemic

In the early months of the U.S. pandemic, banks set aside tens of billions of dollars to cover losses that could come from loans that were suddenly going bad. On top of the stimulus, banks entered into this pandemic the healthiest theyโ€™ve been in years and certainly healthier than they were before the financial crisis of 2008. JPMorgan set aside $611 million to cover potentially bad loans in the third quarter, a fraction of the $10.47 billion the bank set aside to cover bad loans in the second quarter. On Wednesday, Bank of America said it set aside $1.4 billion to cover potentially bad loans, far less than the $5.1 billion it set aside three months earlier. Most of the worry seems to reflect investors' uncertainty about whether banks will have to set aside additional billions in the future.

Citi said its third-quarter net income fell to $3.23 billion from $4.91 billion a year earlier. JPMorgan and Citi were the first of the major banks to report its results this week.

JPMorgan puts $30B toward fixing banking's 'systemic racism'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. โ€“ JPMorgan Chase said Thursday it will extend billions in loans to Black and Latino homebuyers and small business owners in an expanded effort toward fixing what the bank calls โ€œsystemic racismโ€ in the countryโ€™s economic system. โ€œSystemic racism is a tragic part of Americaโ€™s history,โ€ said JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon in a statement. Citigroup announced last month it is committing $1 billion toward closing โ€œthe racial wealth gapโ€ in the United States, including $550 million toward homeownership programs for racial minorities. He noted that thereโ€™s a 30% gap between Black and white homeownership, amounting to about 4.5 million households.

Citi picks Jane Fraser as next CEO, first woman in that role

Fraser is currently head of Citi's global consumer banking division, a major part of the bank that includes checking and savings accounts but also Citi's massive credit card business. Fraser will be the first woman to lead one of Wall Street's big six banks. JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon has had women as his second-in-command for years, but shows no signs of stepping down from the CEO role. Corbat turned Citi into a much smaller and stable entity, focusing on its credit card businesses and its international banking franchise.

Banks set aside billions, bracing for more economic pain

Thanks largely to the funds set aside for bad loans, JPMorgan's profit fell by half in the April-June quarter, Citigroup's sank about 70% and Wells Fargo reported its first quarterly loss since the financial crisis of 2008. In its second-quarter results, JPMorgan said it set aside $10.5 billion to cover potentially bad loans. Thats on top of the $8.3 billion the bank set aside in April, when the pandemic was only just starting to impact the U.S. economy. Citi, which is heavily exposed in credit cards, set aside an additional $7.9 billion to cover potentially bad loans. Wells Fargo, which did not set aside as much money as its peers in April, had to play catch up this quarter, setting aside $8.4 billion to cover potentially bad loans.

Dow pops 250 points on blockbuster earnings

Blockbuster earnings from the likes of JPMorgan Chase and UnitedHealth sent the Dow climbing more than 250 points, or roughly 1%, in afternoon trading.

JPMorgan closer to controlling second Chinese joint venture

JPMorgan closer to controlling second Chinese joint venture

JPMorgan confirmed Tuesday that it had the winning bid for 2% of China International Fund Management, a joint venture between the bank and its local partner. The price values the entire venture at 12 billion yuan ($1.7 billion), one third higher than an earlier valuation of 9 billion yuan ($1.3 billion), according to the exchange filing. JPMorgan has already received Chinese approval to run a separate securities joint venture. Foreign banks have geared up the process of controlling their Chinese joint ventures, after Beijing said it would eventually allow majority foreign ownership of domestic companies. Last week, Morgan Stanley signed a contract with its Chinese partner to buy enough of their joint venture in order to gain a 51% controlling stake.
