JPMorgan (AMJB) offers callable, principal‑at‑risk notes tied to SMH ETF
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC offers Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF. The notes are expected to price on or about February 27, 2026 and to settle on or about March 4, 2026. Each $1,000 note can pay a Contingent Interest Payment on an Interest Payment Date only if the Fund’s closing price on the applicable Review Date is at or above an Interest Barrier equal to 60.00% of the Initial Value. The notes carry a Buffer Amount of 20.00% (Buffer Threshold 80.00%) so that, at maturity, holders lose 1% of principal for each 1% the Final Value is below the Initial Value beyond the 20.00% buffer, exposing investors to up to 80.00% principal loss. The Contingent Interest Rate is at least 9.35% per annum. The issuer and guarantor credit risk is JPMorgan entities; early redemption by the issuer is permitted beginning September 1, 2026.

Insights
These are callable, principal‑at‑risk notes offering contingent monthly coupons tied to an ETF barrier.
The notes pay contingent coupons only when the VanEck Semiconductor ETF closes at or above 60.00% of the Initial Value on a Review Date; the stated minimum contingent coupon equates to at least 9.35% per annum. The structure includes frequent monthly Review Dates and a call feature that may end the term early as of the first callable Interest Payment Date on or about September 1, 2026.
Key dependencies include ETF closing prices on Review Dates, the issuer’s early call decision, and the pricing supplement’s final terms. Subsequent pricing details (final Initial Value and final estimated value) will materially affect realized returns; those final figures are in the pricing supplement when terms are set.
Investor payoff and secondary market value depend on the credit of JPMorgan Financial and the guarantor, JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Payments on the notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so holders are exposed to both entities’ credit risk. Defaults by either could eliminate recovery on the notes.
Secondary market liquidity and prices will reflect internal funding rates, selling commissions, hedging profits, and market demand; the estimated value at issuance is lower than the public price and is provided in the final pricing supplement.
