Volatile Friday for JPMorgan: Stock Closes Steady Before Sharp After-Hours Fall

NEW YORK – JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) shares concluded Friday’s regular trading session nearly unchanged after navigating significant intraday swings, only to face a sharp downturn in after-hours activity.

The financial services leader closed the official session on April 28th at 243.22 USD, according to data released after the 7:47 PM GMT-4 bell. This represented a marginal decline of just -0.17 USD, or 0.070 percent, from the previous close of 243.39 USD.

However, the story changed significantly after the market closed. In extended trading, JPMorgan shares dropped sharply to 241.07 USD, a substantial decrease of 2.15 USD, or 0.88 percent, from the official closing price.

Friday’s regular session was far from quiet despite the flat finish. The stock opened at 244.56 USD and climbed to an intraday high of 246.84 USD early on. It subsequently experienced a significant sell-off, reaching a low of 240.84 USD, before recovering much of that loss by the closing bell.

JPMorgan Chase’s stock continues to trade within its established annual range, between the 52-week high of 280.25 USD and the 52-week low of 188.46 USD. The bank maintains a Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 11.94 and provides shareholders with a dividend yield of 2.30%.

The stark contrast between the stable close and the after-hours drop captured attention as the trading week ended.
