The story
JPMorgan’s Form 8-K, filed October 13, said third-quarter 2026 net income was $15.3 billion, or $5.57 per share. The filing compared that with $14.4 billion of net income and $5.07 per share in the third quarter of 2025.
The report was filed under Item 2.02, Results of Operations and Financial Condition, and included the company’s third-quarter earnings release and financial supplement as exhibits. The filing identifies October 13, 2026 as the date of the reported event.
The figures apply to JPMorgan Chase’s consolidated results. The company’s common stock trades under JPM on the New York Stock Exchange, alongside several listed preferred securities and other JPMorgan-guaranteed instruments.
The filing also carries the company’s standard forward-looking-statement warning, noting that future results may differ materially because of risks and uncertainties. The earnings release and financial supplement attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 contain the supporting quarterly materials.
The next read will come from management’s discussion of the quarter and from subsequent reporting on credit performance, trading conditions, expenses and capital actions. Those details will determine how the headline earnings figures translate into the bank’s operating outlook.
Our take
1 / 7
Our read · Oct 13
JPMorgan reported $15.3 billion in third-quarter net income, up from $14.4 billion a year earlier.
Why
The earnings comparison is constructive, but the filing alone does not establish how revenue, provisions, expenses or capital changed beneath the headline profit. JPM’s older FY2025 figures provide scale—$182.4 billion of revenue and a 31.2% net margin—but they do not resolve the quarter’s operating mix or the durability of the result.
What could change this view
The read weakens if the attached quarterly materials show that the profit increase was driven by volatile items while credit costs, expenses or capital pressure deteriorated.
▲ The case it holds
Third-quarter net income rose to $15.3 billion from $14.4 billion, while EPS increased to $5.57 from $5.07 year over year.
▼ The case it breaks
The filing’s headline figures do not by themselves show whether the increase was supported by recurring revenue or offset by higher provisions, expenses or other pressure.
