JPMorgan’s net income soared 50% to more than $14 billion in the fourth quarter as the bank’s profit and revenue easily beat Wall Street forecasts, and other major banks reported banner earnings for the year.

JPMorgan Chase on Wednesday posted record quarterly and annual earnings and revenue, reinforcing the company’s status as the biggest and most profitable bank in U.S. history.

JPMorgan Chase’s fourth-quarter profit jumped 50%, boosted by strong revenues across its businesses, particularly on Wall Street. The earnings amounted to $4.81 a share, well above the $4.09 a share analysts polled by FactSet expected.
