JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns of hidden risks after record earnings
JPMorgan Chase posted a record second‑quarter 2026 profit, reporting net income of $21.2 billion and earnings of $7.70 per share. Adjusted for one‑time items, earnings would have been $6.14 per share. CEO Jamie Dimon highlighted four macro‑economic risks that could affect markets: geopolitical tensions and wars, persistent inflation, large global fiscal deficits and elevated asset prices. He cautioned that these forces could “collide” and cause meaningful disruptions.
At the same time, JPMorgan’s global market‑intelligence team issued a tactical buy signal for the S&P 500, citing near‑term upside from lower bond yields, a weaker dollar and strong corporate earnings. Dimon, however, reiterated his personal stance that he would avoid the broad U.S. equity market and long‑dated U.S. Treasuries at current valuations, preferring selective company investments.
