JPMorgan Chase stock hit an all-time high of $338.22 on June 25, 2026, closing the day at $338.32 — a gain of 2.59%. The move puts the stock within 1% of its 52-week high and extends its one-year total return to nearly 20%.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., JPM

The record came on the same day JPMorgan announced a major leadership shake-up that sets the stage for the eventual departure of longtime CEO Jamie Dimon.

Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh were named co-presidents of JPMorgan Chase, effective immediately. The two had previously served as co-CEOs of the bank’s commercial and investment bank division.

In their new roles, Petno takes over as sole head of the Commercial & Investment Bank, while Rohrbaugh moves to lead Consumer and Community Banking. That switch gives Rohrbaugh experience running both of JPMorgan’s biggest business lines.

Marianne Lake, who had been leading Consumer and Community Banking and was considered a frontrunner for the top job, is retiring after more than 25 years at the firm.

Dimon turned 70 this year. He has been at JPMorgan for more than two decades and is widely expected to step down in the coming years.

His retirement timeline has shifted more than once. For years, he gave a standard “five more years” answer when pressed. In 2024 he acknowledged he’d likely leave in fewer than five years. Then in January 2026, he said he wanted to stay “at least” five more years — though it wasn’t clear if that meant as CEO or as chairman.

Retention Bonuses Handed Out

To lock in key executives through the transition, the bank handed out substantial retention bonuses. Petno and Rohrbaugh each received $30 million. Mary Erdoes, head of asset and wealth management, and Jennifer Piepszak, chief operating officer, each received $20 million.

The promotions mean the next CEO of JPMorgan will likely be a man, despite the bank having several prominent women in senior roles — something Dimon has publicly highlighted in the past.

IPO Mandate and Other News

Separately, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley have been tapped to lead the IPO of Axyv, the missile unit of L3Harris Technologies. The deal could raise up to $2 billion.

JPMorgan has also restricted its Hong Kong employees from using Anthropic’s AI models, including Claude, according to a report by the Financial Times citing unnamed sources.

InvestingPro currently lists JPMorgan as undervalued relative to its Fair Value estimate, placing it on the platform’s Most Undervalued list.

The stock’s all-time high close of $338.32 on June 25 stands as the most recent data point for investors watching the succession story unfold.
