JPMorgan (AMJB) prices Palantir-linked auto callable notes due 2029
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering $250,000 of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the Class A common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $39.75 per $1,000 (a 15.90% annual rate, 3.975% quarterly) for any review date when Palantir’s closing price is at least the interest barrier of $88.96, equal to 50% of the strike value of $177.92.
The notes can be automatically called as early as March 4, 2026 if Palantir’s price on a review date is at or above the strike, returning $1,000 plus due and unpaid interest. If not called and the final price on December 4, 2029 is below the trigger value, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with Palantir’s decline from the strike, and investors can lose more than 50% or all of principal. The notes are unsecured, not insured by any government agency, have limited liquidity, and were priced at $1,000 per note with an estimated value of $944.60.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan (AMJB) Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to Palantir?
These notes are structured debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They reference the Class A common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc. and can pay high contingent interest and potentially return principal, depending on Palantir’s stock price on scheduled review dates.
How does the 15.90% contingent interest work on the AMJB Palantir-linked notes?
For each $1,000 note, investors are eligible to receive a Contingent Interest Payment of $39.75 (a 15.90% per annum rate, 3.975% per quarter) on each interest payment date if the closing price of one Palantir share on the related review date is at least the Interest Barrier of $88.96, which is 50% of the Strike Value of $177.92. Missed coupons can be paid later if a future review date meets the barrier.
When can the AMJB notes be automatically called and what do investors receive?
The notes are automatically called if, on any review date other than the final one (starting March 4, 2026), Palantir’s closing price is at least the Strike Value of $177.92. On the call settlement date, holders receive $1,000 per note plus the current contingent interest and any previously unpaid contingent interest, and no further payments are made.
Can investors in these JPMorgan Palantir-linked notes lose principal?
Yes. If the notes are not called and the Final Value of Palantir on the final review date is below the Trigger Value of $88.96, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is calculated as $1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return), where Stock Return is (Final Value – Strike Value) / Strike Value. In that case, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% Palantir falls below the strike, potentially losing more than 50% or all of their investment.
Is interest guaranteed on the AMJB Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes?
No. Interest is not guaranteed. A Contingent Interest Payment is made only if, on the relevant review date, Palantir’s closing price is at least the interest barrier. If the price stays below the barrier on all review dates, investors receive no interest over the life of the notes.
What are the credit and liquidity risks of the JPMorgan Palantir-linked notes?
Payments depend on the credit of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and the guarantee of JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and are not bank deposits or FDIC insured. They will not be listed on any exchange, so liquidity is limited and any secondary market price from JPMS is likely to be below the $1,000 issue price.
How does the estimated value of $944.60 compare to the $1,000 issue price of the AMJB notes?
The notes are sold at $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount, while the estimated value at pricing was $944.60. The difference reflects selling commissions, projected profits and hedging costs included in the price to the public, which can contribute to lower secondary market values than the original issue price.
