摩根大通 上季獲利激增47%

美國資產第二大的銀行摩根大通銀行(JPMorgan Chase)14日率先公布上季財報,獲利激增47%,超乎預期,因為認列的放款損失減少和商業銀行部門盈餘創紀錄。摩根大通去年第四季淨利48.3億美元,相當於每股盈餘1.12 美元,遠高於前一年同季的32.8億美元(每股盈餘74美分),和去年第三季的每股1.01美元。彭博調查的分析師平均預期每股盈餘為1美元。
由執行長戴蒙掌舵的摩根大通,是金融危機至今唯一持續獲利的美國大銀行。
紐約Oppenheimer公司研究部經理科托斯基說:「好消息是,損失逐漸減少,意味要創造盈餘所需的營收愈來愈少。壞消息是,貸款業務仍有壓力,因此盈餘也仍有壓力。」
FBR資本市場公司分析師米勒說:「消費者信用全面好轉。」科托斯基也指出,信用卡壞帳打消率從第三季的8.5%,降到10月及11月的7.51%,這是情況全面好轉的跡象。
摩根大通是第一家發表財報的美國大銀行,分析師預測,接著美國第三大銀行花旗集團18日可望公布去年第四季獲利21.9億美元。美國最大銀行美國銀行(BofA),21日可望公布獲利26.1億美元。摩根士丹利和高盛下周也將公布財報。銀行業營運對整體經濟表現具有指標作用。
據彭博的數據,美國房貸危機和失業率攀至26年來最高,導致金融業者蒙受高達1.82兆美元的損失和資產減值。過去兩季來美國經濟好轉,已使新問題貸款增加的速度減緩。
摩根大通去年全年每股盈餘達3.96美元,遠高於2009年的2.26美元,主因是商業銀行部門獲利創紀錄。由於貸款損失減少,摩根大通已連續四季無需提列鉅額損失準備。去年全年營收減少至1,048億美元,不如2009年的1,086億美元。
戴蒙11日暗示,摩根大通計劃提高年度股利到75美分至1美元,遠高於目前的20美分。摩根大通最快4月可望宣布提高股利。

J.P. Morgan Bankers Earn Less

NEW YORK—J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s annual compensation per employee in its investment-banking unit fell 2.4% from a year ago, though the firm set aside 4% more for payouts to reward a higher headcount.
The banking giant allocated $9.7 billion in compensation for the unit in 2010, up from $9.3 billion, a year ago. Per-employee compensation, however, was $369,651, down from $378,559, a year ago. The firm had to pay 1,660 more employees in the business as the size of its staff climbed 7% to 26,314 from 24,654 in 2009.
J.P. Morgan's compensation figures are closely watched by Wall Street because it is the first big U.S. bank to report fourth-quarter results and should provide the first indication of annual payouts for the industry in 2010.
In the fourth quarter, compensation as a percentage of net revenue was 30%, up from 11% a year ago. The compensation expense in 2009 was unusually low because the firm paid employees outside of the investment bank who still supported the unit as well as a U.K. tax on bonuses and a higher portion of equity payments in compensation packages.
During a conference call with analysts, J.P. Morgan Chief Financial Officer Douglas Braunstein said that excluding the U.K. bonus tax, the compensation ratio for 2010 was 35%, consistent with the firm's prior guidance of 35% to 40%. He said executives expect full-year compensation-to-revenue ratios to continue to be in that range.
Overall revenue for the investment bank rose 26% from a year earlier, but profit fell 21%, in part because of higher expenses, including performance-based compensation.
The unit's investment-banking fees, earned for advising companies and helping them raise capital, for example, were down 3% from a year ago as advisory and equity underwriting revenues each fell, while debt underwriting climbed 26%.
