Key Capital and Liquidity Metrics
- Book Value per Share: $124.96, up 9% year-over-year.
- Tangible Book Value per Share (TBVPS): $105.70, up 10% year-over-year.
- CET1 Capital Ratio: 14.8% (compared to 15.1% in 2Q25).
- Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR): 110%, with $1.51 trillion in High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) and unencumbered marketable securities.
Key Observations
- Asset Growth: Total assets reached $4.56 trillion, driven by loan growth (particularly in Credit Card) and higher market valuations.
- Stable Deposit Base: Average deposits grew by 6% YoY, demonstrating the firm’s strong ability to retain client funding despite rate volatility.
- Loan Composition: The 7% growth in Credit Card loans reflects active consumer credit demand, which contributed to both higher interest income and the increase in credit loss provisions this quarter.
In banking and financial analysis, the CET1 (Common Equity Tier 1) Capital Ratio is the most critical metric used to measure a bank’s financial strength and its ability to withstand financial stress.
Here is a breakdown of what this ratio means:
1. What is the CET1 Capital Ratio?
It is a percentage that compares a bank’s “core capital” against its “risk-weighted assets” (RWA). The formula is:
CET1 Capital Ratio = (Common Equity Tier 1 Capital) / (Risk Weighted Assets(RWA))
2. Core Components
- Common Equity Tier 1 Capital:This is the highest-quality form of capital because it can absorb losses immediately as they occur. It primarily consists of:
- Common stock issued.
- Retained earnings (profits kept by the bank after paying dividends).
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).
- Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA):Not all assets are equal in terms of risk. A bank adjusts its assets based on their riskiness:
- Cash and Treasuries: Usually assigned a 0% risk weight.
- Mortgages: Assigned a medium risk weight.
- Unsecured Loans (e.g., Credit Cards): Assigned a high risk weight.
3. Why is it Important?
- Solvency and Safety: It shows how much of a “buffer” the bank has. A higher ratio means the bank can absorb more significant losses before becoming insolvent.
- Regulatory Compliance: Under global standards (Basel III), regulators set a minimum CET1 ratio that banks must maintain. If a bank falls below this level, regulators may restrict its ability to pay dividends or buy back shares.
- Capital Distribution: Banks with high CET1 ratios are generally seen as healthy enough to return capital to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases.
4. Analysis of JPMorgan Chase (JPMC) 3Q25 Data
In the 3Q25 report, JPMorgan reported a CET1 ratio of 14.8%.
- Extremely Strong: This is well above the regulatory minimum requirements (usually around 10-12% for a bank of this size), indicating a “Fortress Balance Sheet.”
- Strategic Flexibility: This high ratio allowed the firm to repurchase $8.0 billion in common stock during the quarter while still maintaining a massive safety cushion.
- Slight Decrease: The ratio decreased slightly from 15.1% in 2Q25, primarily due to capital distributions (buybacks/dividends) and growth in risk-weighted assets (loan growth).
