JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) reported Q1 earnings this morning and the results continue to paint the picture that the broader economic conditions are continuing to strengthen, justifying the all-time market highs investors are seeing. The company reported Q1 EPS of $1.59 on revenues of $25.8 billion. While top line performance was in line with projections, EPS were $.20 (14.3%) higher than the Street's estimate. The earnings beat was due primarily to the financial benefit of reduced mortgage and credit card loan loss reserves, which contributed an estimated $.18 to EPS. The strengthening in both of those markets - mortgage and consumer credit cards - is a positive indicator for the broader market. Consumers are defaulting far less often than in months and years past.

The charts above show delinquency in both the mortgage and credit card business experiencing a significant decrease since 2009, and that downtrend continues to show strength. Fewer delinquencies are a telling sign that the individual consumer is feeling the effects of the growing economy.

JPM is a behemoth of the banking business and is engaged in many different businesses, all of which deal with different types of customers. From individual consumer banking to car loans, credit cards, and mortgages, and all the way up the line to underwriting mega M&A deals with the world's top firms, JPM continues to perform seamlessly on nearly all levels. Here are Q1 operational highlights for JPM's different business units:

  1. Consumer & Community Banking: #1 ATM network; #1 most visited banking portal
  2. Consumer & Business Banking: Average total deposits of $421.1 billion, up 11% year over year and 4% quarter over quarter
  3. Mortgage Banking: Mortgage originations of $52.7 billion, up 37% YoY and 3% QoQ
  4. Card, Merchant Services, and Auto: Net income of $1.3 billion, up 8% YoY
  5. Corporate & Investment Bank: Net income of $2.6
