The country\u2019s largest bank kicked off the second day of earnings week for the industry\u2019s giants, as investors look to assess the prospects for their Wall Street and Main Street businesses after a volatile period in markets.<\/p>\n

Following an optimistic start to 2026, their stock prices have tumbled from early January highs. Going into earnings, investor have questioned the opportunity for these lenders amidst worries around their private credit exposure and what a prolonged Iran war could mean for dealmaking and their wider lending businesses<\/p>\n

JPMorgan\u2019s stock fell slightly in early Tuesday trading.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Dimon laid out the risks he\u2019s concerned about in his 2026 annual letter. He noted that a prolonged Iran war could \u201clead to stickier inflation and ultimately higher interest rates.\u201d<\/p>\n

But JPMorgan\u2019s results exuded a US economy and consumer that\u2019s remained stable despite so many changes.<\/p>\n

Over the quarter, US consumers at JPMorgan appeared to be in stable financial health.<\/p>\n

Total debit- and credit-card spending was up 9% versus the first quarter of 2025. Delinquencies over 90 days fell slightly to 1.15% compared with 1.6% over the same period a year ago.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan also set aside lower provisions for credit losses compared to previous quarter in its sprawling consumer bank.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
