JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs reported their Q2 earnings before the opening bell on Tuesday – both beating analyst forecasts.

JP Morgan & Co

JP Morgan reported total revenue of $31.4 billion in Q2, above analyst forecast of $29.90 billion. Earnings per share were reported at $3.78 vs. $3.21 estimate.

”JPMorgan Chase delivered solid performance across our businesses as we generated over $30 billion in revenue while continuing to make significant investments in technology, people and market expansion. This quarter we once again benefited from a significant reserve release as the environment continues to improve, but as we have said before, we do not consider these core or recurring profits. Our earnings, not including the reserve release, were $9.6 billion. Consumer and wholesale balance sheets remain exceptionally strong as the economic outlook continues to improve. In particular, net charge-offs, down 53%, were better than expected, reflecting the increasingly healthy condition of our customers and clients.” – Jamie Dimon, Chairman, and CEO commented on the strong Q2 results following the announcement.
