- U.S. economy is "booming," JPMorgan’s Dimon says
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said the U.S. economy is "booming," citing higher corporate profits and low unemployment, in remarks at the Wall Street Journal's Leadership Institute. He said neither corporations nor consumers are overleveraged and that surging AI infrastructure spending is boosting growth, though the buildout could eventually have a deflationary effect. Dimon warned that geopolitical conflicts, including the Iran war that began in late February and the Ukraine war, could disrupt the world economy in unexpected ways. He acknowledged that the economy will eventually go through a cycle but declined to say when a downturn might occur. His comments followed JPMorgan's weaker-than-expected third-quarter profit.
- Jamie Dimon Warns AI Agents That Make Payments on Your Behalf ‘May Not’ Act Properly: AI Revolution Like a ‘Tsunami’ That Must Be Managed
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned that AI agents allowed to make payments for customers would need their bank codes, effectively placing them “in your bank” with no assurance they would act in customers' interests. He cited Meta Platforms' consumer agent Muse, launched in September to handle emails, travel bookings and calendars, and said such agents could act in “treacherous” ways for the bank; on Tuesday's third-quarter earnings call he warned of possibly thousands of rogue agents. JPMorgan is still rolling out its own AI, with CFO Jeremy Barnum saying the Smart Cash tool is in early pilot; Dimon likened AI to the Industrial Revolution but moving far faster, “more like a tsunami,” that must be managed. He said AI tools are surfacing hundreds of significant vulnerabilities in open-source code, leaving industries “completely unprotected” against state actors, terrorists and criminals. Dimon also predicted AI could help treat diseases such as cancer, cut road deaths by as much as 80%, and let people work as little as 3.5 days a week within 30 years.
- Jamie Dimon Warns AI Agents That Make Payments on Your Behalf 'May Not' Act Properly: AI Revolution Like a 'Tsunami' That Must Be Managed
Speaking at the Economic Club of Chicago, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned that if AI agents are allowed to make payments, customers would have to hand over their bank codes, putting the agents 'in your bank' without assurance they will act properly. He said this could be 'treacherous' for the bank and, on the earnings call, warned of possibly thousands of rogue agents, pointing to consumer agents such as Muse from Meta Platforms. Dimon described AI as a 'tsunami' moving far faster than the Industrial Revolution that must be managed, while JPMorgan has used AI since 2012 and is piloting its Smart Cash tool. He said AI tools are surfacing hundreds of significant open-source code vulnerabilities, leaving industries 'completely unprotected,' and that US regulators are questioning lenders about AI safeguards. Still, Dimon predicted AI could help treat cancer and cut road deaths by as much as 80%.
- CEO Jamie Dimon retraces Chicago roots at Economic Club
JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon told the Economic Club of Chicago that he prefers Chicago to New York, on the same day annual inflation rose to 3.7%. He discussed uncertainty over U.S. debt, the wars in Ukraine and Iran, threats from AI and shifting geopolitics. Dimon moved to Chicago in 2000 to lead Bank One, which JPMorgan acquired in 2004. The bank is spending $800 million on a multiyear renovation of Chase Tower, expected to finish in late 2027, and has about 15,000 employees in the Chicago area and required five office days a week since late 2025. Dimon called remote work “cumulatively bad” for the company, while JPMorgan invests about $500 million a year in philanthropy, including $214 million in Chicago over the past decade.
- What Does JPMorgan Chase (JPM) Face If Jamie Dimon Is Right On Rates?
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned that prolonged high interest rates could strain U.S. consumers and credit markets. In his latest remarks, he pointed to persistent inflation, elevated asset prices and geopolitical instability, as well as tightening credit standards and questions about consumer resilience while policy rates remain high. The article says this warning captures only part of the risk, since the bank's large expense base and technology spending could face a tougher credit cycle. Investors are advised to watch net charge-offs and consumer delinquencies in coming quarters against the US$2,204 million in net charge-offs reported for Q3 2026.

- TSLA Stock Rises As Cybercabs Overtake Model Ys In Authorized Texas Robotaxi Fleet
Data from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles shows Tesla's purpose-built Cybercab, a steering-wheel-free robotaxi, has become the majority of its authorized robotaxi fleet in Texas for the first time, with 544 of 1,051 vehicles. Model Y accounts for 507, a shift from early October when the registry showed 319 Cybercabs against 420 Model Ys. The data covers authorization only, not whether vehicles are operating or carrying riders. Cybercabs currently run only in Austin, while Tesla's robotaxis operate in Austin, Houston, Dallas and parts of Florida; Tesla said it is looking to add Cybercabs in Dallas next month. TSLA closed 4% higher on Tuesday but is down 9% year to date.
- Why Brown & Brown Stock Slumped by 5% Today
Brown & Brown's third-quarter revenue was almost $1.73 billion, up more than 7% from a year earlier but below the analyst average of $1.76 billion. GAAP net income rose almost 6% to $240 million, while adjusted earnings per share inched up nearly 2% to $1.07, short of the $1.09 consensus. The company cited a challenging rate environment of softening insurance premiums and said the Accession Risk Management Group acquisition, a $9.8 billion deal in 2025, helped results. Organic revenue, which excludes acquisitions, rose barely over 1% to $1.46 billion, pointing to weakness in the legacy business. The stock closed nearly 5% lower on Tuesday amid a broad investor sell-off.
- Penguin Solutions, Broadcom, FormFactor, Lattice Semiconductor, and AMD stocks trade up, what you need to know

- Investing $1,000 in Each of These 3 Stocks 20 Years Ago Would Have Created a Portfolio Worth $674,000 Today
The article calculates that a $1,000 investment in each of Nvidia, Netflix and Amazon 20 years ago would be worth about $674,000 combined as of October 26. Nvidia's stake would be worth about $383,000, with most gains coming in the past couple of years as generative AI took off; the chipmaker's operating profit totaled nearly $200 billion over the past four quarters, its market cap is around $5.3 trillion, and it trades at 28 times trailing earnings. Netflix's stake would be worth more than $161,000, but its stock has fallen this year on concerns about slowing growth and is trading near its 52-week low. Amazon's stake would be worth about $130,000, and its operating income last year reached $80 billion, more than six times the $12 billion of three years earlier; the stock trades at around 20 times trailing earnings. The author argues these growth stocks can still be good buys today.
- Western Digital, Allegro MicroSystems, Amtech, and Teradyne shares skyrocket, what you need to know
Several semiconductor stocks rose sharply in the afternoon session after Broadcom obtained $63 billion in bank financing to develop proprietary AI chips for Anthropic.

Among the gainers, Western Digital (WDC) rose 8.1%, Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) gained 6.4%, Amtech (ASYS) added 5.1% and Teradyne (TER) climbed 5.6%. The article notes WDC has had 79 moves greater than 5% over the past year, and about 22 hours earlier the stock had gained 5.2% after Bank of America projected memory chip supplies would stay tight through 2028. Citing CNBC, the article says semiconductor fabrication equipment spending is projected to exceed $200 billion in 2027, as demand outpaces clean-room capacity and the availability of critical parts.
- Is Benz Mining (TSXV:BZ) Cheap On Icon Drilling Results Or Already Priced In?
Benz Mining (TSXV:BZ) reported extensive drilling results from the Icon gold camp at its Glenburgh Gold Project in Western Australia, confirming repeated stacked high-grade gold lenses. The share price rose 11.03% on the day and 10.47% over the past week, but fell 15.62% over 30 days; it is up 180.38% year to date and returned 205.52% over 12 months. A valuation narrative cited in the article puts fair value at CA$6.28 versus a last close of CA$4.43, implying 29% undervaluation. The article notes the market values Benz above C$1 billion without a current maiden Mineral Resource, and the stock trades at 26.4 times book value versus 2.2 times for the Canadian metals and mining group. Risks include less of the Exploration Target converting into compliant ounces than hoped or weaker project economics in future studies.
