Capital

As the $4.6 trillion-asset bank looks to deploy its excess capital, investing in growth is the top priority. But there aren't many tempting acquisition opportunities for the megabank right now, CEO Jamie Dimon said Tuesday.

Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said in a Tuesday statement that "the U.S. economy remained resilient" during the second quarter, adding that the recent tax cuts and potential deregulation are "positive for the economic outlook."

Loan growth and laxer capital requirements figure to be hot topics during second-quarter earnings season, which starts Tuesday. It's a turnaround from three months ago, when tariff worries were rampant.

This could be the second year in a row that the market for U.S. bank preferred shares has shrunk, something that hasn't happened since the lenders were replacing obsolete capital after the global financial crisis.

Starting at 4:30 p.m., the 22 large banks that were stress-tested by the Fed can release information about their plans for dividend increases and share repurchases.

Analysts are predicting stronger results this year after a disappointing outcome in 2024.

The JPMorgan Chase CEO also sounded off on regulatory requirements, expressing optimism that capital rules will be scaled back.

This time almost no one is questioning the industry's ability to ride out whatever is coming.

The JPMorgan Chase CEO said Friday that recent turmoil in the bond market highlights the need for more capital and liquidity flexibility.

JPMorgan Chase's CEO emphasized his concerns about geopolitical conflict and brought up recent culture shifts at the bank in his annual letter to shareholders.
