Quick overview of banking results: JPM, Citigroup, WFC
The last week brought earnings from three major U.S. banks, including Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase & Co., and Wells Fargo. Overall, the results for the first quarter of 2023 were mixed, with indicators pointing to positive and negative trends. All three banks showed solid growth in revenue and non-interest income. However, declining deposits and loans paint a worrisome picture for the industry (together with rising provisions for credit losses). As a result, we believe the theme of banking earnings will be “big capitalized banks that can make money even in the current environment versus small, less resilient banks facing obstacles ahead.”
Citigroup
Citigroup Inc. reported a net income of $4.6 billion (up 7% YoY but down 19% YoY when excluding divesture-related impacts) for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $4.3 billion for the same period in 2022. The bank’s revenues grew 12% YoY (or 6% YoY excluding divestiture-related impacts) and 19% QoQ. Operating expenses rose by 1% YoY and 2% QoQ. Citigroup's end-of-period loans were $652 billion at quarter end, down 1% YoY. Deposits remained unchanged versus the prior year, standing at $1.3 trillion.
