- JPMorgan Chase (JPM) Q3 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
JPMorgan Chase reported third-quarter net income of US$15.3 billion, up 6%, and diluted EPS of US$5.57, up 10%. Net interest income rose 13% to US$27.1 billion and managed revenue grew 8% to US$50.9 billion, while noninterest expense increased 12% to US$27.3 billion. The Commercial & Investment Bank earned US$8.2 billion, up 20%, and the firm moderated share repurchases, with net buybacks of US$664 million, to redeploy capital into organic growth. Management said recent market conditions have slowed activity somewhat, which could affect investment banking fees in the fourth quarter, and guided to fourth-quarter net interest income of about US$28 billion. Risk-weighted assets rose about US$52 billion in the quarter on higher lending and market volatility, while the standardized CET1 ratio was 13.9%.
- Bank of America Has Cut Its Share Count by Nearly a Third in 10 Years. $10,000 Invested Then Is Worth About $40,000 Now.
Bank of America, with $3.4 trillion in total assets, is the second-largest U.S. financial services institution; it bought back $6 billion of stock in the third quarter and $19.2 billion so far in 2026. Its outstanding share count has fallen 32% over 10 years, contributing to a 122% rise in diluted EPS. A total return of 304% through Oct. 16 would have turned $10,000 into about $40,400, below the $42,800 that the overall stock market's 328% total return would have produced. The article notes the shares trade 19% below their peak, at a P/E of 12.5 versus a 10-year average of 13.1.
- JPMorgan Slashes Q3 Share Buybacks: Is Organic Growth a Better Bet?
JPMorgan sharply cut its share buybacks in the third quarter of 2026 to a net $664 million, down nearly 89% from $6.2 billion in the previous quarter, as CEO Jamie Dimon prioritised investing in the franchise and supporting clients. The bank holds about $30 billion in excess capital and is looking to invest in technology, branch expansion, commercial banking, wealth management and international operations. It ended the quarter with $304 billion in CET1 capital, a 13.9% standardised CET1 ratio and a 20% return on tangible common equity. The article notes that fewer buybacks could limit near-term earnings growth, and that the 2026 adjusted expense outlook of $108.6 billion highlights cost pressures. Citigroup repurchased about $3 billion of shares in the quarter, bringing year-to-date buybacks to $13.3 billion with $23 billion still available as of Sept. 30, 2026, while Bank of America bought back $6 billion, leaving almost $11 billion of its $40 billion authorisation, and returned $8.3 billion in total including $2.2 billion in dividends.
- Apple Stock Could Have Another Major Growth Chapter Ahead
24/7 Wall St. sets a price target of $398.16 for Apple (AAPL) against a $343.46 share price, implying 15.93% upside over 12 months, and rates the stock a buy.

Risks include memory costs, which management called a “100-year flood,” and gross margin guidance of 47% to 48%, while the bear case is $337.72. The article notes that its projections assume Apple keeps its current strategy.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
