JPMorgan Chase & Company says its profit tumbled 84 percent in the third quarter after it took big hits from souring mortgage investments, leveraged loans and home loans.
But the results are better than expected.
The company earned $527 million, or 11 cents per share, compared with $3.4 billion, or 97 cents per share, a year ago.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected a loss of 21 cents per share.
Results included a gain of $581 million related to the acquisition of Washington Mutual's banking operations.
The New York bank bought the deposits of Washington Mutual late last month, and acquired Bear Stearns in March.
JPMorgan Chase is the fifth-largest bank in Colorado, with nearly 5.5 percent of all deposits.
