Summary

Q1 delivered robust revenue growth of 10.6% to $30.3B and net income up 16.1% to $8.6B, fueled by higher noninterest income including asset management fees from elevated market valuations and strong AUM flows amid resilient operations.

Key takeaways

Revenue increased 10.6% to $30.3B from $27.4B, primarily driven by higher asset management fees reflecting higher market valuations and strong AUM flows, plus elevated brokerage fees from increased transactional volume.
