New business is being written on visibly better terms than the company's own recent norm, and the mix shift has just beg
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2021 call → NOWe need to determine if management indicates that the economic terms of the newest business have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm, and that this improvement has only begun to flow into reported results. We need to find evidence in the transcript. The question is about "economic terms" like prices, rates, fees, spreads, etc. The context is JPMorgan's earnings call. We need to see if management says that new business is being written at better terms than recent past, and that reported results still reflect old terms. Look for statements about new business terms improving. For example, in card, they mention spend acceleration, but that's volume, not necessarily pricing. They mention NII headwinds due to low rates and consumer deleveraging. They don't seem to indicate that new loans are being written at higher rates. In fact, they talk about deposit margin compression, low rates, etc. They mention IB fees record, but that's volume and market activity, not necessarily pricing. They talk about markets revenue down but above 2019, but that's not about terms. The question specifically asks about "economic terms" like prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, or profitability. Management does not seem to indicate that they are achieving better terms on new business compared to their own recent norm. They talk about NII being under pressure, rates low, etc. They also mention that they are staying patient on deployment, waiting for higher rates. That suggests they are not currently achieving better terms. Thus, the answer is NO.

CRL · Q2 2022 → YESThe question is about whether management indicates that the economic terms of the company's newest business have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm, and that this improvement ...YES Management's comments on Safety Assessment pricing and backlog directly address both required elements: they describe current bookings and backlog at "escalating prices" and "meaningful price increases" that are already achieved on real transactions (not targets or future expectations), while noting that the reported Q2 results are still dominated by older 2022 terms and that the stronger pricing is accelerating into H2 and 2023 bookings.
