Record $21.2B quarterly profit on trading, not just rates — JPMorgan's diversification is the moat
$JPM Q2 2026: net income $21.2B, the highest quarterly profit in the bank's history. Net interest income $25.6B (+10%). Markets revenue $12.1B, a new quarterly trading record — Equity Markets revenue alone jumped 86% YoY to $6.0B, Fixed Income +6%. Also got a $4.6B gain on the Visa stake. Raised full-year NII guidance to ~$105.5B from $103B. A bank this size posting an 86% YoY jump in equities trading revenue on top of record NII is the definition of a diversified earnings engine — this isn't a one-factor rates story anymore.
