Weeks after Donald Trump's first shock election win, bosses from across corporate America were scrambling to enter the president's orbit. Business leaders ranging from the General Motors boss, Mary Barra, to Disney's chief, Bob Iger, quickly signed up to a new advisory council in 2016 to help shape the aggressively pro-growth policies of this new populist politician. Among them was the head of America's largest bank: Jamie Dimon, the chair and chief executive of JP Morgan.

J.P. Morgan's 2026 U.S. Equity Year Ahead report highlights sector-specific opportunities and risks amid a K-shaped, AI-driven economy. Institutional investors should focus on companies with secular growth drivers, robust balance sheets, and exposure to transformative trends like data center expansion and infrastructure investment. While select sectors look poised for outperformance, others face headwinds from macro uncertainty, regulatory shifts, and cyclical slowdowns.

Completed in 1906, John Pierpont (JP) Morgan had the structure built to house his study and library right next to his brownstone residence. Stepping into the original structure, you're immediately transported to the Gilded Age: extravagant paintings line the ceilings of the entry rotunda, deep red wallpaper gives a solemn tone to his study, and wood bookcases display the impressive book collections.

J.P. Morgan's approach to AI and blockchain involves methodical processes including research, regulatory alignment, internal tool building, and team upskilling, demonstrated by initiatives like JPMD.

The new JP Morgan headquarters includes a Danny Meyer-curated food hall featuring 19 restaurants and aims to create a 'wellness and hospitality experience' for employees.

The major indices, except the Russell 2000, have recovered losses from this year’s massive sell-off, with renewed investment interest especially in big-tech stocks.

Investment and Scale: $18 billion technology budget in 2025, with AI driving $1.5 billion in annual business value. The bank employs over 2,000 AI experts.

"As always, we hope for the best but prepare the firm for a wide range of scenarios," Dimon said, underlining his concern about the direction of the US economy.
