JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported a 3% decline in net interest income to $23.5 billion, while noninterest revenue surged 29% to $20.3 billion. Operating expenses fell 7% to $22.8 billion, but adjusted for a prior year's FDIC assessment, they grew by 5%. The bank allocated $2.6 billion for credit losses, with net charge-offs at $2.4 billion, mainly from Card Services. Despite a challenging market, JPMorgan remains a top choice for income investors, reaffirming its commitment to shareholder returns with a $3.5 billion dividend distribution and a 12% increase in its quarterly dividend to $1.40 per share.
