Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Jamie Dimon,
Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer
In 2026, America is celebrating its 250th anniversary. Also this year, we are
celebrating the 227th anniversary of JPMorganChase, which was founded in April
1799. This is the perfect time to rededicate ourselves to the values that made this
great nation of ours freedom, liberty and opportunity and to recognize that
we all stand on our country s shoulders.
The challenges we all face are significant. The list is long but at the top are the
terrible ongoing war and violence in Ukraine, the current war in Iran and the
broader hostilities in the Middle East, terrorist activity and growing geopolitical
tensions, importantly with China. Our hearts go out to those whose lives are
profoundly affected by these crises. We sincerely hope these global conflicts are
properly resolved and that one day all of Europe and the Middle East will attain
long-term stability and prosperity. Even in troubled times, we have confidence
that America will do what it has always done look to the values that have
defined our singular nation and sustained our leadership of the free world.
Despite the unsettling landscape, the U.S. economy continues to be resilient, with
consumers still earning and spending (though with some recent weakening) and
businesses still healthy. It is important to note that our economy has been fueled
2
INTRODUCTION
by large amounts of government deficit spending and past stimulus and that
increased expenditure on infrastructure remains a growing need. Now, because
of the war in Iran, we additionally face the potential for significant ongoing oil and
commodity price shocks, along with the reshaping of global supply chains, which
may lead to stickier inflation and ultimately higher interest rates than markets
currently expect. Continual trade negotiations exacerbate the tense geopolitical
issues. And high asset prices, which certainly feel good in the short run, create
additional risk if anything goes wrong. In Section III of this letter, I describe in
greater detail how we are dealing with these risks.
JPMorganChase, a company that historically has worked across borders and
boundaries, will do its part to ensure that the global economy is safe and secure,
but we cannot confidently predict the outcome of current events, and our
company is not immune to their ultimate effects. As we have for more than two
centuries, we will continue to work through all of the complexities that confront us
and continue to help our clients, including governments, always defending our
values, even when challenged.
Remember the poem If by Rudyard Kipling that begins If you can keep your
head when all about you are losing theirs ? We will stay true to this. We must deal
with the world we have and strive for the one we want.
Two things are absolutely foundational to our long-term success: The first is
that we run a great company, and the second, which is maybe more important,
is that the vitality of America domestically and the future of the free and
democratic world are strong. In the first part of this letter, I talk about issues
unique to JPMorganChase and how we are addressing them, including constantly
surmounting complexity, bureaucracy and complacency. And in the last two
sections, I focus on the perils before us, both nationally and internationally, that
require urgent, effective solutions.
Throughout 2025, JPMorganChase demonstrated the power of its investment
philosophy and guiding principles, as well as the value of being there for clients
as we always are in both good times and bad times. The result was continued
broad healthy growth across all our franchises, with the firm generating record
revenue for the eighth consecutive year and setting numerous records in each of
our lines of business. We earned revenue in 2025 of $185.6 billion1 and net income
of $57.0 billion, with return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 20%, reflecting
a strong underlying performance across all of our businesses.

revenue.
We also increased our quarterly common dividend from $1.25 per share to
$1.40 per share in the first quarter of 2025 and again to $1.50 per share in the
third quarter of 2025 while continuing to reinforce our fortress balance sheet.
We grew market share in several of our businesses and continued to make
