JPMorgan Chase is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 earnings before the market opens on October 13. The bank serves consumers and businesses through lending, payments, trading, and investment banking. It is among the major banks reporting as earnings season begins.

Wall Street estimates in the initial preview put JPMorgan Chase’s earnings at $5.93 per share and revenue at approximately $51.20 billion. A separate Zacks Investment Research preview puts those forecasts at $5.94 per share and $52.21 billion. Both sets of figures are estimates, not reported results.

Based on the Zacks forecasts, earnings rise 17.2% and revenue grows 12.5% from a year earlier. Zacks also says the consensus earnings estimate has increased 0.3% over the past 30 days. Investors can compare the reported figures with these forecasts when JPMorgan Chase releases its financial results.

Strong trading activity and investment banking fees could help boost revenue. Rising expenses and credit risk could offset some of that benefit. Credit risk is the chance that borrowers fail to repay loans, which can force a bank to set aside more money for potential losses.

JPMorgan Chase’s trailing price-to-earnings ratio is 14.25, meaning its shares trade at 14.25 times earnings from the past 12 months. Its price-to-sales ratio is 2.98. These measures give investors a way to assess the stock’s valuation ahead of the report, but neither indicates what the quarter’s results will be.
