'Down round' fears haunt the IPO marketOn public issuances, which are handled by the bank's equity capital markets business, Barnum said he would have expected stronger numbers in more normal times. "The regulatory overhang is there, remains there," on the advisory side of the business, Barnum said. Barnum suggested that the flow of capital into credit could be slowing because there isn't enough dealmaking to justify continued fundraising.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Friday issued another warning about inflation despite recent signs of easing in price pressures. "Therefore, inflation and interest rates may stay higher than the market expects." His comments came after this week's data showed the monthly inflation rate dipped in June for the first time in more than four years, which fueled bets that the Federal Reserve could cut rates soon. Dimon joined many economists in sounding the alarm on the U.S.' burgeoning debt and deficits. The federal government has so far spent $855 billion more than it has collected in the 2024 fiscal year.

The derivative income Morningstar category, dominated by covered-call ETFs, saw inflows of $24.3 billion over the past year, as of June. The largest actively-managed, covered-call ETF is the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF , which has a 6.88% 30-day yield and an adjusted expense ratio of 0.35%. Investors should also be aware of the strategy being used by the fund managers, which will affect the upside potential and call premium.

A branch of First Republic Bank is seen after Jamie Dimon's JPMorgan Chase & Co emerged as the winner of a weekend auction of the bank in San Franciso, California, U.S. May 1, 2023. First Republic failed on May 1, 2023, after a series of Federal Reserve interest rate increases caused large losses in its investment portfolio and led many depositors to move their money elsewhere. In their complaint filed last December, the former First Republic employees alleged that the FDIC had on May 18, 2023, wrongfully stopped making payments under their deferred compensation plan. First Republic failed less than two months after the failures of two other lenders, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.

Since September, when Fraser laid out her vision for a more streamlined Citigroup, the bank’s stock has shot up more than 50%. For the first time in nearly two decades, Wall Street appears to be feeling something almost like optimism about America’s third-largest bank. But speaking of Fraser’s tenure, Mayo sounded unusually sanguine about her progress in simplifying Citi’s notoriously labyrinthine corporate structure. Still, Mayo said the bank offers the “worst-in-class efficiency, returns and stock market valuation.”“I think she will pull it off. Of course, Fraser, who took over in March 2021, is still being haunted by the sins of Citi’s past.

Dave Sekera, chief US market strategist at Morningstar, says that he’s watching for insights on banks’ delinquency rates. Consumers have increasingly fallen behind on or missed payments in recent months as they get squeezed by high interest rates. But banks could see higher losses compared to 2023 if the economy were to experience a downturn, the Fed warned. Investors are wagering that the central bank will begin easing rates as soon as September, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. “The worst outcome for all of us is what you call stagflation: higher rates and recession,” Dimon said in an interview with CNBC.

Along with the top- and bottom-line numbers, Wall Street is also keeping close watch on net interest income and guidance. "We see the greatest sources of potential earnings upside being driven by higher loan growth and capital markets." Barclays analyst Goldberg anticipates a slight decrease in net interest income in the second quarter due to a compression in net interest margin. Last year, the company posted $21.9 billion in net interest income for the period. Despite expectations for seasonally lower trading, he also expects strong investment banking activity and net interest income to drive ongoing positive momentum.
