JPMorgan Chase reported third-quarter earnings below expectations for the first time since 2023, while raising its 2026 net interest income outlook to about US$106.2 billion. The bank is cutting share buybacks and raising its dividend, directing capital toward technology, AI and franchise investment and accepting higher noninterest expenses rather than maximizing near-term payouts. It is also issuing multiple callable senior unsecured notes maturing between 2031 and 2056, with coupons mostly in the 5.5% to 6.7% range, signaling a focus on balance sheet flexibility and long-dated funding. The article notes that a weaker credit or capital markets environment combined with elevated spending could squeeze margins and returns. Consensus figures project revenue of US$227.1 billion and earnings of US$68.8 billion by 2029, based on an assumed 6.8% annual revenue growth rate, an increase of about US$5.2 billion from current earnings of US$63.6 billion.

- JPMorgan Has Returned 159% in Three Years. After Its First Miss Since 2023, Take Profits or Buy More?
JPMorgan's third-quarter EPS of $5.57 fell short of the roughly $5.90 consensus as noninterest expense rose 12% to $27.3 billion. Net interest income climbed 13% to $27.1 billion, and the bank raised its 2026 NII outlook to about $106.2 billion from $105.5 billion. Net buybacks fell to $664 million from $6.2 billion as Jamie Dimon prioritized franchise investment, while the quarterly dividend rose to $1.65. Bloomberg reported that Anthropic chose JPMorgan to lead the U.S. retail portion of its IPO. The author would hold rather than add, citing the pause in buybacks and the Street's $373 target, which implies only about 11% upside from the stock's current level.
- 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%.
- Is Rare Earnings Miss Altering The Investment Case For JPMorgan Chase (JPM)?
JPMorgan Chase reported Q3 2026 results that missed earnings and revenue expectations for the first time in nearly three years, weighed by weaker fixed income trading and higher expenses. Net interest income and consumer activity remained solid, and the bank raised its full-year net interest income outlook, with strong deposit trends and inflows into asset and wealth management. Recently, the bank has issued multiple callable unsecured notes, including a completed US$3.75b fixed-to-floating issue due 2037, at coupons in the mid 5% to high 6% range. The article notes that the current analyst narrative assumes revenue reaches US$227.1b and earnings US$68.8b by 2029, from US$63.6b today, based on 6.8% yearly revenue growth. Expenses are already tracking above prior guidance, which the article flags as a key short-term factor.
- JPMorgan Raises Income Outlook As Bond Trading Slips
- JPMorgan Chase Misses Third-Quarter Earnings Estimates as Fixed-Income Trading Revenue Declines
JPMorgan Chase reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $15.31 billion, or $5.57 per share, for the quarter ended 30 September, below the $5.92 per share analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had expected. Adjusted revenue rose 8% year on year to $50.9 billion but fell short of the $51.37 billion consensus. Fixed-income markets revenue dropped 4% to $5.4 billion on weaker commodities, rates, credit and public finance, partly offset by currencies and emerging markets, while investment banking fees rose 14% to $3 billion on higher advisory revenue. A $658 million net loss on investment securities cut earnings per share by about $0.18. CEO Jamie Dimon said markets revenue and investment banking fees grew at a mid-teens rate, although customer activity moderated as the quarter progressed.
- JPMorgan Chase's Next Earnings Report Tomorrow Could Send the Stock Plunging. Here's Why.
JPMorgan Chase will release its third-quarter results before the market opens tomorrow, followed by a live conference call with CEO Jamie Dimon and management. Rising bond yields are pressuring bank stocks by raising funding and capital costs, which can slow investment banking and lending, and by heightening concerns about credit cycles. In September, co-president Doug Petno guided that investment banking fees and markets revenue would grow in the 'mid-to-high teens' percentage range in Q3, a tough comparison after second-quarter gains of 30% and 35% year over year. Analysts expect adjusted EPS of $5.94 on revenue of $51.22 billion. The author argues expectations are high, so even a slight miss or signs of credit deterioration could trigger a sell-off.

- Amazon Stock Fell After Earnings. Jim Cramer Says Buy Right Here
Amazon shares fell after third-quarter results, as revenue of $201.94B came in just below the $202.20B estimate and EPS of $1.89 missed the $1.96 consensus. Fourth-quarter sales guidance of $240.0B to $247.0B was below estimates at the midpoint, while capex reached $77.26B in the quarter and trailing free cash flow was an outflow of $42.4B.

CEO Andy Jassy forecast AWS growth above 40% in 2027 and 2028. Jim Cramer argued this is a good time to accumulate the stock, UBS raised its price target to $352 from $348, and the article flags rising capex and interest expense of $1.691 billion versus $538 million a year earlier.
- Stellantis Stock Is Soaring. Europe Is Crashing the Party.
Stellantis shares rose roughly 15% in morning trading after third-quarter results showed €828 million in year-over-year industrial cost improvements, although that figure is not additional profit. Adjusted operating income climbed to €256 million from €90 million on revenue up 1% to about €37.6 billion, but the adjusted operating margin was still just 0.7%. North America swung from a €475 million adjusted operating loss a year earlier to a €64 million profit, with its margin improving to 0.4%. Enlarged Europe, however, went from a €157 million adjusted operating profit to a €311 million loss, pushing its margin to -2.2% amid an unfavorable mix, higher EV sales and persistent pricing pressure. Industrial free cash flow was negative €4 billion in the quarter, with management expecting a reversal in the fourth quarter and reaffirming positive industrial free cash flow in 2027.
- The $300 Billion-a-Year Challenge Behind Double-Digit GDP Growth
The government submitted to the National Assembly a target of GDP growth of 10% or more for 2027, and TS Cấn Văn Lực estimated at AEF 2026 that Vietnam needs to mobilize about 280–300 billion USD in capital each year, rising about 14% annually, with total investment kept near 40% of GDP. Bank credit supplies as much as 51% of total capital, while stock and corporate bond markets provide only 13–14%, so the capital market needs further development. Vietnam's ICOR has been above 6 over the past five years, compared with 3–4 for the Asian tigers during their rapid growth, and Mr. Lực proposes bringing it down to 4.5. The World Bank notes that total factor productivity growth has been nearly zero since 1990, with value added of about 6.7 USD per worker-hour, less than half of China's. The article argues that growth must rely on efficiency and productivity, not on capital accumulation alone.
- MPLX Reports Earnings on Nov. 3, 2026. Here's What Investors Should Be Watching.
MPLX will report third-quarter results on Tuesday, Nov. 3, after management said the third quarter should be stronger than the second, and the fourth stronger still. The MLP spent $5.5 billion on growth projects and acquisitions last year and plans $2.9 billion in growth capex in 2026, aiming for mid-single-digit adjusted EBITDA growth. First-half adjusted EBITDA reached $3.5 billion, up less than 2% year over year, so the second half must accelerate. The article estimates third-quarter adjusted EBITDA near $1.85 billion, versus nearly $1.8 billion in the second quarter. The board declared a third-quarter distribution of $1.2111 per unit, up 12.5% year over year, making distribution coverage (1.3x at the end of the second quarter) and leverage (3.7x, versus a 4.0x target) key metrics to watch.
- Barclays Says a SpaceX Merger Is Now "a Key Part" of the Tesla Bull Case. Here's Who Actually Wins if It Happens -- and Who Pays.
On Space Exploration Technologies' (SPCX) third-quarter conference call, CEO Elon Musk said he thought a merger with Tesla was a good idea, and the two companies have each formed a special committee to explore a combination. Barclays says such a deal would likely be funded largely or entirely through stock, and Tesla shareholders could benefit given SpaceX's market capitalization of roughly $2 trillion compared with roughly $1.55 trillion for Tesla. Barclays upgraded Tesla from equal weight to overweight and raised its one-year price target from $370 to $450 per share, a level that matches its expected all-stock buyout value, a premium of roughly 20% over the current price, or about 3.1 SpaceX shares per Tesla share. The deal would need a 50% affirmative vote from Tesla shareholders, with investors who do not vote counted as "no" votes, and Musk controls about 20% of voting power but would still likely need meaningful retail investor support. The article also notes that heavy dilution from new SpaceX share issuance to fund a deal makes the post-deal outlook for SpaceX stock harder to predict.
- Centerra Gold Inc (CGAU) (Q3 2026) Earnings Call Highlights: Record Buybacks, Lower Mount ...
Centerra Gold reported third-quarter adjusted net earnings of $72 million, or $0.37 per share, with operating cash flow of $143 million and free cash flow of $17 million. The company bought back a record $53 million of shares in the quarter, bringing year-to-date repurchases to $125 million, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share. Mount Milligan's third-quarter all-in sustaining cost on a byproduct basis was $985 per ounce, and full-year guidance was lowered to $1,100–$1,200 per ounce from $1,200–$1,300, supported by copper by-product credits. The Thompson Creek restart is about 75% complete with first molybdenum production expected in mid-2027, though molybdenum prices cannot be hedged and Mount Milligan costs are tracking about 5% above budget. Cash fell roughly $50 million in the quarter, and the company plans to hold only $100–$200 million in cash, with total liquidity of $998 million.
