摩根大通

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

    2012年《财富》500强排名：第18位

    2012年利润（单位：百万美元）：21,284

    去年是摩根大通银行创记录的一年，也是遭到清算的一年。虽然该行2012年盈利创历史新高，但却因“伦敦鲸”高风险交易造成的62亿美元巨额亏损而黯然失色。由于这起事件，摩根大通公司董事会做出决议，将首席执行官杰米•戴蒙2012年的奖金削减一半。但是如同戴蒙所说的那样：生活还得继续。2012年，摩根大通旗下所有业务部门都实现了强劲的业绩。不过，摩根大通银行仍将继续受累于贷款业务的微薄利润，直到利率最终从谷底开始上升。

    Fortune 500 rank: 18

    2012 profit (millions): 21,284

    It was a year of records and reckoning for J.P. Morgan Chase. The bank's highest annual profit ever was tainted by the $6.2 billion "London Whale" trading loss on risky bets. The scandal also cut into CEO Jamie Dimon's bottom line when the board hit him with a 50% pay cut. But as Mr. Dimon likes to say: Life goes on. 2012 marked strong results across all of J.P. Morgan's units. Until interest rates finally rise from rock-bottom levels, however, the bank will continue to get pinched on the profit it makes off its loans.--T.Z.
