JP Morgan earns a major chunk of revenue from asset management and commissions. Revenue from asset management and card income has consistently grown from 2014 to 2016. Security gains has not contributed much to JP Morgan’s revenue.

Shareholder’s Equity Holding

JP Morgan  has an Authorised Share capital of 9 billion. As per Dec-2016, approximately 3520 million shares are outstanding. There has been a decreasing trend in the Shares outstanding due to share repurchase by company resulting in the increasing trend of Treasury stock. This trend has been showcased in the presentation.

There is a considerable decrease in the amount of “Accumulated other comprehensive gain” from 2189 million in 2014 to 192 million in 2015.  This was a reduction of 1997 million in income. This is shown in figure below.

These are unrealised losses arising majorly due to losses in investment securities. There are some unrealized losses in translational adjustments.

There is a considerable loss in the amount of “Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss ” from 192 million in 2015 to -1175 million in 2016( a loss).

This loss was again mainly due to losses in investment securities. These accumulated comprehensive losses have been on the increase.

Retained earnings are growing at the rate of 12 % every year. This is good for the business.

The total shareholders equity has been increasing from 2014 to 2016 in spite of stock repurchase (increase in treasury stock) and a increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss. This is an indicator of growth.

I have done the vertical and horizontal analysis of the Income Statement and come up with a few observations which are highlighted below: -

1. JP Morgan's revenue declined by 2% from 2014 to 2015 and remained almost same from 2015 to 2016.
2. JP Morgan’s operating expenses have consistently fallen from 2014 to 2016(2% every year). The company has managed to control its operating costs.
3. JP Morgan's operating income declined by 2% from 2014 to 2015 but then increased by 8 % from 2015 to 2016 exceeding 2014 level.
4. JP Morgan's income before interest and income taxes declined slightly(1%) from 2014 to 2015 but then increased drastically by 8% from 2015 to 2016 far exceeding 2014 level.
5. JP Morgan's net income increased by 12 % from 2014 to 2015 but then increased by only 1%  from 2015 to 2016. This was due to interest payment in 2016.
6. Interest Expense decreased by 5% from 2014 to 2015 but increased by almost 32% from 2015 to 2016. There is a corresponding increase in debts in balance sheet.  

1. Cash dividends paid out to common stockholders has been on an increasing trend. $1.58/share was paid out in 2014 which increased to $1.88/share in 2016. This is also an outcome of the decreasing trend in the outstanding shares.
