JPMorgan Chase (JPM) shares rose 3% in early premarket trade 

May 01,  2023

JPM shares saw a 3% surge following their win in First Republic auction. 

JPMorgan expects the deal to be earnings per share accretive, generating more than $500 million of incremental net income per year.

The $500 million does not include a one-time gain of $2.6 billion and an estimated $2 billion of restructuring costs.

Despite neither the FDIC nor JPMorgan release indicating shareholders would get any consideration, First Republic shares (FRC) fell 36% to $2.24.

JPMorgan confirmed that it is not assuming First Republic's corporate debt or preferred stock.

PNC Financial Services (PNC), reported to be one of the First Republic bidders, fell 5% in shares.

This deal marks an important milestone for JPMorgan Chase as it expands its market share in the banking sector.
