While net income increased on a year-over-year basis for Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), it fell at JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), thanks primarily to lower trading revenue. Fees collected were lower than expected, but brighter investment banking news and better performance in core fee lines saved the day for the bank. The company has a market cap of $265.49 billion and a P/E ratio of 12.64. Therefore, Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC) is one of the financial institutions to have felt the pain of the oil bleeding among the energy firms. So far this year, the bank reserved just $776 million.
