He also highlighted strong momentum in M&A and investment banking activity, with 2026 expenses expected to total about $106 billion as the bank continues to generate robust revenue.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported strong earnings, but the stock price reacted unexpectedly due to market pessimism and concerns about the future. CEO Jamie Dimon expressed doubts about the economy and highlighted the impact of interest rates on real estate values. The company's acquisition of First Republic has boosted earnings, leading to stock repurchases and a dividend increase.

The bank has been at the center of a crisis of confidence in midsize and smaller U.S. banks, and concerns have mounted about other lenders facing a liquidity crunch. First Republic had to be rescued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and other big banks last month.
A U.S. judge has rejected requests to sever JPMorgan Chase & Co's lawsuit accusing former executive Jes Staley of concealing what he knew about Jeffrey Epstein from two related lawsuits over its work for the late sex offender. The decision is a defeat for Staley, who said the scheduled Oct. 23 trial for all three cases left him too little time to defend against JPMorgan's "slanderous" accusations. It is also a defeat for women who claim that Epstein sexually abused them and are suing the largest U.S. bank.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon stated that the US banking crisis that shook global markets last month is likely coming to an end, even if more unforeseen failures occur. He added that only a few lenders have the problems that caused Silicon Valley Bank to collapse, and when the industry starts reporting quarterly earnings next week, the numbers will probably be good. However, Dimon also warned that the banking crisis has increased the odds of a recession.
