JPMorgan stock fall despite strong quarterly results

JPMorgan (JPM.US) stock dropped more than 2.5% despite the fact that the company posted upbeat quarterly figures. One of the major US banks earned $ 3.78 per share in Q2 beating the $ 3.21 consensus estimate. Revenue of $31.4 billion also topped Wall Street’s estimates of $30.06 billion. However this figure was supported by the release of reserves which JPMorgan had set aside for pandemic-related defaults. Also trading revenue fell 30%  to $8.1 billion, hurt mainly by weakness in bond trading, which was down 44% from last year. CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement consumer and corporate balance sheets remain "exceptionally strong as the economic outlook continues to improve." He pointed to a sharp decline in bad loans as evidence of the "increasingly healthy condition of our customers and clients."
