J.P. Morgan Has $387 Mln 4th-Qtr Loss on Enron Suit (Update1)
By Michael Nol

New York, Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. lost $387 million in the fourth quarter after the second-biggest U.S. bank wrote off losses related to bankrupt energy trader Enron Corp. and set aside money to cover the cost of lawsuits.

The net loss was 20 cents a share, the bank said. In the final quarter of 2001, J.P. Morgan lost $332 million, or 18 cents a share, as it wrote off bad loans to Enron and investments in Argentina.

The bank's second loss in five quarters shows how Chief Executive William Harrison's strategy of financing some of the fastest-growing energy and telecommunications companies in the 1990s backfired. The bank has had only one quarter of rising profit since it was formed two years ago by the merger of Harrison's Chase Manhattan Corp. with J.P. Morgan & Co.

``Everywhere they turn, they're getting smacked,'' said Wayne Bopp, who helps Fifth Third Bancorp manage $30 billion, including about 585,000 J.P. Morgan shares. ``Their business model is positioned for maximum punishment in this type of environment.''

J.P. Morgan shares have risen 5.9 percent this year. Yesterday, the stock fell 77 cents to $25.42 in composite trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
