JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)

Executive Summary

JPMorgan Chase is, by every measure that matters, the best-run diversified bank in the United States. The fortress-balance-sheet thesis Jamie Dimon began articulating two decades ago has been borne out across the global financial crisis, the European sovereign-debt crisis, the COVID shock, the regional-bank panic of March 2023, and now into a Q1 2026 print that delivered 23 percent ROTCE, a 14.3 percent CET1 ratio, and 13 percent year-over-year net income growth on a base of $16.5 billion. JPMorgan today is the single largest U.S. bank by assets, deposits, investment-banking revenue, and trading revenue. It is also, by our calculation, the single highest-quality compounder among the world’s globally-systemically-important banks.
