JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Wells Fargo reported third-quarter results on October 13, 2026. According to Bloomberg, the New York Times, the New York Post and the Daily Caller, JPMorgan’s results fell short of analyst estimates. The Financial Times reported that equities trading boosted JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs earnings. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said IPO and capital-markets activity remained healthy, and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank is tightening some credit terms. The Daily Caller reports the four banks earned a combined $31.75 billion in profit, and cites a Federal Reserve survey finding that 37% of adults could not cover a hypothetical $400 emergency expense with cash.
