JPMorgan auto-callable SMCI notes: 20.25% p.a., 50% barrier
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC launched a preliminary pricing supplement for Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes aim to pay a monthly contingent coupon of at least $16.875 per $1,000 (at least 20.25% per annum) whenever SMCI’s closing price on a Review Date is at or above 50.00% of the Initial Value (the Interest Barrier), with any previously unpaid coupons paid when conditions are met.
The notes are automatically called if, on designated Review Dates (excluding the first five and final), SMCI closes at or above the Initial Value; the earliest call date is April 20, 2026. If not called, and the Final Value is at or above the Trigger Value (50% of Initial Value), investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons at maturity on April 23, 2027. If the Final Value is below the Trigger, repayment equals $1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return), resulting in losses that can exceed 50% and up to all principal.
Minimum denominations are $1,000. The notes are expected to price on or about October 20, 2025 and settle on or about October 23, 2025. An indicative estimated value is approximately $944.80 per $1,000, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. All payments are subject to the credit risk of the issuer and guarantor.

Insights
High-coupon, high-risk note with auto-call and 50% protection threshold.
These notes offer a contingent coupon of at least 20.25% per annum when SMCI’s closing price meets the 50.00% Interest Barrier on a Review Date. If SMCI closes at or above the Initial Value on certain Review Dates, the notes auto-call and pay principal plus the period’s coupon and any unpaid coupons. The earliest potential call is April 20, 2026.
Principal is at risk below the 50.00% Trigger Value at maturity. If not called and the Final Value is below the Trigger, the payoff follows $1,000 + $1,000 × Stock Return, which can lead to losses over 50%, up to total loss. Coupons can skip in weak periods and only catch up when the barrier is met.
Key mechanics include minimum denominations of $1,000, maturity on April 23, 2027, and an indicative estimated value of about $944.80 per $1,000 (final value not less than $900.00). Payments depend on the credit of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
