JPMorgan prices 9.75% auto-callable yield notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto-callable yield notes due February 3, 2028 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500® Index and the common stock of Salesforce, Inc. The notes pay at least 9.75% per annum (at least 0.8125% per month) and have a $1,000 minimum denomination.
The notes are expected to price on or about February 2, 2026 and settle on or about February 5, 2026. Each Underlying’s Strike Value was set as of January 30, 2026 (Index: 6,939.03; CRM: $212.29) and the Trigger Value equals 55.00% of each Strike Value. The notes may be automatically called beginning on February 1, 2027 if both Underlyings close at or above their Strike Values on a Review Date. Principal repayment at maturity depends on the Lesser Performing Underlying Return; investors can lose more than 45.00% of principal and could lose the entire principal.

Insights
High coupon offset by contingent principal risk and early-call profile.
The notes offer a stated coupon floor of 9.75% per annum payable monthly, which is funded by structured terms tying principal repayment to the performance of the lesser performing of the SPX and CRM. The Trigger Value is 55.00% of Strike, meaning substantial downside exposure if the Lesser Performing Underlying falls below that threshold.
Key dependencies include the closing values on specified Review Dates and the automatic call feature effective on February 1, 2027. The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC with a full guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so creditworthiness of both entities affects secondary values and recovery risk.
Tax treatment characterized as a Put plus a Deposit for U.S. federal income tax reporting.
The issuer intends to treat each note as a cash-settled Put Option written by the holder plus a $1,000 Deposit, allocating approximately 4.32% per annum of each Interest Payment as interest on the Deposit and the remainder as Put Premium. This allocation affects timing and character of income.
Section 871(m) consequences are addressed and the issuer expects it not to apply to these notes; however, the determination is not binding on the IRS. Purchasers are advised to consult their tax advisers regarding alternative treatments and withholding risk.
