This quarter, the firm reported net income of $13 billion and EPS of $4.63, with an ROTCE of 18%. Revenue of $46.8 billion was up 7% year on year on higher markets revenue, as well as higher asset management fees and auto lease income. The increase in NII ex-Markets was primarily driven by higher firm-wide deposit balances and revolving balances in card, largely offset by the impact of lower rates. Turning to the full year results, I'll remind you that there were a few significant items in 2025 which are listed in the footnote.
Excluding those items, the firm reported full year net income of $57.5 billion, EPS of $20.18, revenue of $185 billion, with an ROTCE of 20%. Revenue of $19.4 billion was up 6% year on year, predominantly driven by higher NII on higher revolving balances in card and a higher deposit margin in banking and wealth management. For the full year, we had strong growth in our franchise with 1.7 million net new checking accounts, 10.4 million new card accounts, and record households in wealth management across digital and advised channels. Revenue of $19.4 billion was up 10% year on year, driven by higher revenues in markets, payments, and Security Services.
In terms of the outlook, we expect strong client engagement and deal activity in 2026, supported by constructive market dynamics, which is reflected in our pipeline. Markets Fixed Income was up 7% year on year, with strong performance in securitized products, rates, and currencies in emerging markets, largely offset by lower revenue in credit trading. Turning to asset and wealth management, AWM reported net income of $1.8 billion, with pre-tax margin of 38%. Revenue of $6.5 billion was up 13% year on year, predominantly driven by growth in management fees on higher average market levels and strong net inflows, as well as higher performance fees.

| Topic | Previous mention | Current period | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stablecoin and digital assets | Engaged via Kinexys and tokenized funds | Broad bank advocacy (ABA/FSF/ICBA) against creating a parallel banking system with deposit-like interest without prudential safeguards, while the firm keeps innovating and added a Coinbase agreement in CCB | Increasing |
