JPMorgan crushes forecasts, but tempers enthusiasm. Through the release of historical results for the first quarter of 2025, the leading American bank asserts its power against a backdrop of enduring volatility. However, Jamie Dimon does not celebrate victory. He warns of an accumulation of systemic risks, from inflation to geopolitical tensions. This double signal, between accounting triumph and strategic caution, summarizes the paradoxes of a banking sector facing an uncertain world. JPMorgan started the year 2025 with remarkable strength. The American banking giant reported a net income of $14.6 billion, a result exceeding Wall Street expectations. Revenues reached $45.31 billion, notably supported by the excellent performance of its market activities. Trading stood out, with a global increase of 21%, and a spectacular rise of 48% in equity trading. This dynamism reflects a clear ability to profit from an unstable stock market environment. Here are the key figures to note: Such a result reflects a well-honed strategy that combines diversification of revenue sources and rigorous risk management. It positions JPMorgan at the forefront of major global banks at the start of the year, despite the uncertainties weighing on the global economy. However, these exceptional performances have not prevented Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, from sounding the alarm. During the results presentation conference, he stressed the need to prepare for a period of significant instability. “We are facing exceptional headwinds,” he stated, mentioning in particular “geopolitical tensions, de-globalization, enormous fiscal deficits, and rising inflation.” This alarmist tone sharply contrasts with the published figures and reflects a willingness to manage medium-term expectations. In this context, the bank has chosen to increase its provisions for credit losses, which reached $3.3 billion. This precautionary strategy underscores the anticipation of a possible downturn, with expected deterioration in credit quality, particularly in the consumer credit sector. Meanwhile, the bank has maintained its forecast for net interest income for the year at $90 billion (excluding market activities). Furthermore, it has slightly revised its overall outlook upwards to $94.5 billion. This cautious stance, despite a solid start to the year, reveals more about the latent tensions in the global economy. While financial markets still seem to benefit from abundant liquidity, the signals sent by the leader of the American banking sector invite a more nuanced reading. The coming months should provide a real-world test of this anticipatory strategy, at a time when monetary policy decisions, fiscal imbalances, and geopolitical frictions could profoundly reshape the global economic environment.

Even though I’ve mentioned a few times that I hold $SERV, I never really made an official call, so here it is. I’ve been steadily loading up $SERV over the past month with an average entry around 17–18M market cap. The reason is simple, in terms of tech, there’s really no other project that comes close to them in the #AI multi-agent narrative. If you’re deep into the AI side of things, I highly recommend checking out their docs. Another bonus is 0/0 tax and has deep liquidity, which made it an ideal pick for me to buy with size. Finally, the way the project is being handled is like a real company in terms of professionalism, it does not mean it will make 1b$ market cap, but definitely a very good sign. NFA, just a personal opinion.
