Promises vs. what happened
12 claims · 8 decksEvery target management put in a slide deck, and whether they hit it, missed it, or quietly dropped it.
Guides set to be beaten, and beaten. Net interest income and credit came in better every year; expense is the line that moves up after the January guide, and one capital promise went quiet.

What they keep talking about · 9
The themes that show up deck after deck, and the ones that disappear.
- ROTCE
- The first number on every highlights slide: 21%, 21%, 21%, 20%, 18%, 23%, 29%, 20%. From Q2 '25 a second figure "excluding significant items" sits beside it; in Q2 '26 the two are six points apart, in Q3 '26 one.
- CET1
- Standardized and Advanced ratios on the headline every quarter, under the words "Fortress balance sheet": 15.7% → 13.9% as RWA grew from $1.8T to $2.2T. Advanced RWA joined the table in Q4 '25, when the Apple Card commitment added ~$110B to it.
- Payout
- Dividend, net buybacks and the LTM net payout on the headline slide: 54%, 62%, 71%, 73%, 82%, 82%, 73%, 61%. The dividend went $1.25 → $1.40 (Q1 '25) → $1.50 (Q3 '25) → $1.65 (Q3 '26); buybacks peaked at $8.1B in Q1 '26 and fell to $664mm in Q3.
- Guides
- The last slide, always: NII, NII ex. Markets, adjusted expense and the Card charge-off rate for the calendar year, each "market dependent". The Q3 deck adds next year's "central case (preliminary analysis)"; the Q4 deck adds the rate assumptions and an expense-driver chart. No revenue, EPS or return guide in any deck.
- Growth
- Average loans up 2% a year in Q4 '24, up 10–11% by 2026, mostly wholesale and Card revolve; deposits from $2.4T to $2.7T. The growth is what the NII guides rest on as rates fall.
- Items
- A "Significant items" box on the highlights slide from Q1 '25: the First Republic gain, a $774mm tax benefit, the $2.2B Apple Card reserve, the $4.6B Visa gain and $1.0B of equity marks in Q2 '26, and $658mm of securities losses in Q3 '26.
- Credit
- "Seasoning of vintages" in Q4 '24, then reserve builds for balance growth and the Apple Card; the Card charge-off rate peaked at 3.58% in Q1 '25, ran 3.14–3.47% after and fell to 2.91% in Q3 '26.
- New
- Q2 '25: ROTCE excluding significant items. Q3 '25: effective and managed tax rates added to the results table. Q4 '25: Advanced RWA in the capital table. Q3 '26: a 2027 central case of ~$107B NII ex. Markets.
- Quiet
- The Apple Card RWA step-down, "expected in the near term" in Jan '26, is in none of the three later decks. Middle Market Banking was renamed Commercial & Specialized Industries in Q2 '25.

What analysts asked them
6 calls · Q3 24 – Q2 26The last eight earnings calls: what analysts kept asking about, which questions got dodged, and how much the CEO did the talking.
Share of questions by topic, call by call. A topic that suddenly dominates is usually the problem. The last row is how much of the answering the CEO did, rather than the CFO or others.
| Share of questions about… | Q3 24 | Q1 25 | Q2 25 | Q3 25 | Q4 25 | Q2 26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing & margins | · | · | · | 50% | · | · |

How these calls run. On the Q3 25 call, investors send questions in advance and investor relations reads them out, sometimes rephrased, and picks who answers. No analyst is heard live and nobody gets a follow-up, so this table shows the questions the company chose to read.

Where shareholders voted no
At each annual meeting shareholders vote on who sits on the board, what the executives are paid and whether the company may create more shares. These are the votes that drew the most "no"s at the last two meetings: the shares voted against (or withheld) each year, then what share of all votes cast that was. Under each one, what the vote was about and what a no means.
| 2025 | 2026 | Share 2026 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dimon (chairman & CEO)A board seat. Shareholders vote to keep this person on the board, the group that hires, pays and can fire the CEO. A no, or a withheld vote, says they want this director out, often because of the committee they sit on or a decision they signed off. | 124.4M | 99.0M | 5.2% |
| Burke (lead director)A board seat. | 141.2M | 146.8M | 7.6% |
| Rometty (nominating chair)A board seat. | 25.9M | 83.7M | 4.4% |
| Say on payExecutive pay. Shareholders say whether they accept what the top executives were paid. The vote is advisory: the board can ignore it, but a large no is a public rebuke and boards usually change the pay plan after one. | 163.9M | 139.4M | 7.3% |
| Independent chair (for)Split the chair and CEO jobs. A proposal that the board be chaired by an independent director, not the CEO, so the person who runs the company does not also run the board that supervises them. Here the number is the votes for it. | 737.5M | 677.1M | 35.4% |
