JPMorgan Chase shares drop nearly 7% after bank tempers guidance on net interest income

JPMorgan Chase shares fell 5% on September 10, 2024, after the bank's president indicated that expectations for 2025 net interest income (NII) and expenses may be overly optimistic. The president, Daniel Pinto, noted that the estimated NII of approximately $90 billion is unrealistic due to anticipated Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, as well as an expense estimate of about $94 billion, which Pinto associates with inflation and new investments. These remarks caused JPMorgan's stock to drop significantly, marking the steepest decline since June 2020. Investors are now wary of the broader implications for the banking sector amid slowing U.S. economic growth.
