Abstract

This study conducts a comprehensive financial performance analysis of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. from 2018 to 2022, focusing on key financial indicators such as Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Assets (ROA), Net Interest Margin (NIM), Cost-to-Income Ratio, Loan Loss Reserve Coverage, Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), and Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio. The analysis employs horizontal and vertical financial statement methods, complemented by ratio analysis, to evaluate the firm’s profitability, efficiency, risk management, and market valuation. Findings suggest that J.P. Morgan maintains strong financial health, demonstrated by high capital adequacy, robust liquidity, and effective cost control. Its digital transformation initiatives have further enhanced operational efficiency. When compared to major peers like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, J.P. Morgan displays superior profitability and stability, though faces competition in investment banking and emerging markets. Despite external challenges such as fluctuating interest rates, economic volatility, and regulatory pressures, J.P. Morgan’s prudent risk management and capital strength position it to remain resilient. This research offers valuable insights for investors, management, and policymakers, reinforcing the importance of financial ratio analysis in assessing institutional performance and informing strategic decisions. Future studies could expand on the firm’s adaptability across different economic cycles and competitive landscapes.
