Money Moves

Reported Q1 2026 earnings on April 15 with highest EPS in nearly two decades

The six largest American banks wrapped up first-quarter 2026 reporting with combined net income of $47.3 billion, with trading floors thriving on Iran war volatility even as the outlook darkened. JPMorgan earned $5.94 per share on $50.54 billion in revenue as fixed-income trading surged 21 percent to $7.08 billion, while Citigroup posted its best quarterly revenue in a decade at $24.63 billion. Bank of America earned $1.11 per share, its highest in nearly two decades. Morgan Stanley posted a record equities trading quarter of $5.15 billion and a 29 percent jump in profit. Goldman Sachs led the week with record equities trading revenue of $5.33 billion. The banks announced roughly 5,000 job cuts, using the profit windfall to trim headcount rather than expand.
