Profit down 42% at JPMorgan as Wall Street braces for pandemic reversion

Bank says it is prepared for higher credit losses related to economic challenges and its exposure to Russia

JPMorgan Chase’s first-quarter profit dropped 42%, weighed down by lower Wall Street fees and higher expenses.

The nation’s biggest bank earned $8.28bn, or $2.63 per share, compared with $14.3bn, or $4.50 per share, a year ago. Analysts had expected $2.72 per share, according to FactSet.
