JPMorgan Q2 2026: Strong Growth, Higher NII Guidance
JPMorgan's Q2 results provide evidence of resilient demand and earnings momentum through strong markets activity, investment-banking fees, asset-management inflows, and higher deposits. The case is balanced by equal year-over-year growth in expenses, uncertainty around the durability of capital-markets activity, and regulatory and credit-cycle risks.
