JPMorgan Chase posts record quarterly profit driven by dealmaking and trading gains
JPMorgan Chase reported its largest profit ever for a US bank on July 14, 2026, fueled by a surge in investment banking fees and strong trading results. Investment banking fees reached their highest levels since 2021, boosted by a wave of IPOs and dealmaking activity. Consumer spending also remained resilient, with Bank of America reporting combined debit and credit card spending up 9% to $266 billion.
