On average, 21 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to report earnings of $0.84 per share for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.
The provision for credit losses was $1.13 billion, compared to $523 million last year.

Net interest income was $14.16 billion, up 14 percent from last year, driven primarily by benefits from higher interest rates and loan growth.
Non-interest income improved 8 percent to $11.04 billion from last year, as higher sales and trading revenue more than offset lower service charges and investment and brokerage fees.
Noninterest expense increased 5 percent to $16.04 billion from last year.
