  <p>Wall Street titan JPMorgan Chase said its Q2 2023 profit soared 67% after getting a significant boost from acquiring<a aria-label="acquisition of the collapsed First Republic Bank (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/01/jpmorgan-chase-first-republic-fdic-00094622" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link"> the collapsed First Republic Bank</a> in May. JPMorgan’s shares rallied in premarket trading Friday.</p> 
  <p>According to the report, the bank’s Q2 profit ballooned to $14.47 billion, or $4.75 per share, compared to $8.65 billion, or $2.76 per share, in the same period last year. The results were also significantly higher than analysts’ $3.97 per share estimates.&nbsp;</p> 
  <p>Further, JPMorgan saw its revenue soar by 34% year-over-year to $41.31 billion, while Wall Street expected $38.66 billion. Revenue in JPMorgan’s consumer banking unit jumped 37% from the year-ago quarter, while profit skyrocketed 71% to $5.31 billion, fueled by rising interest rates.&nbsp;</p> 
  <p>The commercial banking division, expected to benefit from an inflow of clients after the First Republic takeover, saw its revenue increase by 49% year-over-year. JPMorgan said that its Q2 profit and revenue would have climbed by 40% and 21%, even without the First Republic deal.&nbsp;</p>

  <h3 id="jpmorgan-s-takeover-of-first-republic">JPMorgan’s Takeover of First Republic</h3> 
  <p>After winning the auction battle, JPMorgan acquired the First Republic Bank on May 1, 2023. The banking giant paid $10.6 billion for the imploded lender and said it would reopen all of its 84-banking offices as branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank.&nbsp;</p> 
  <p>The acquisition, essentially a rescue deal, was inked with the help of federal regulators. It resulted in a significant influx of new clients in JPMorgan’s consumer and commercial units and an immediate gain of $2.7 billion.&nbsp;</p> 
  <p>The First Republic failed during a severe <a href="https://tokenist.com/four-us-bank-failures-in-four-months-is-the-wave-over/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">banking crisis</a> earlier this year, during which other prominent lenders such as Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank also collapsed. More specifically, First Republic carried many uninsured deposits <a href="https://tokenist.com/first-republic-closes-49-down-after-fears-of-federal-receivership-emerge/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">and fell into a liquidity crisis</a>.&nbsp;</p> 
  <p>Shares of JPMorgan were up 3% in premarket trading on Friday at the time of writing.&nbsp;</p>
