JPMorgan AMJB 17.6% Palantir Auto Callable Notes Overview
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is issuing $784,000 of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the Class A common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR), maturing on May 26, 2027.
The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $14.6667 per $1,000 (a 17.60% per annum rate) only if Palantir’s share price on a Review Date is at or above the Interest Barrier of 50% of the Initial Value, which is $77.425. Missed coupons can be made up later if the barrier is met on a future Review Date.
The notes are automatically called on specified Review Dates if the stock closes at or above the Initial Value of $154.85, returning principal plus the due coupon and any unpaid coupons, with no further payments. If the notes are not called and Palantir’s final share price falls below the Trigger Value (also 50% of the Initial Value), investors’ principal repayment is reduced one-for-one with the stock decline, potentially resulting in a loss of more than half, up to all, of their investment.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not listed on an exchange, and have an estimated value at pricing of $954.20 per $1,000 due to embedded fees, hedging costs and dealer compensation.

How much interest can investors earn on the JPMorgan AMJB Palantir notes?
Investors may receive a Contingent Interest Payment of $14.6667 per $1,000 principal each month, equal to a 17.60% per annum rate, but only for Review Dates when Palantir’s closing price is at or above the Interest Barrier of 50% of the Initial Value, which is $77.425.
When are the JPMorgan AMJB Palantir notes automatically called?
The notes are automatically called on any Review Date other than the first through fifth and the final Review Date if Palantir’s closing price is at least equal to the Initial Value of $154.85. Upon automatic call, holders receive $1,000 per note plus the due contingent interest and any previously unpaid contingent interest, and no further payments are made.
What risks to principal do investors face with the JPMorgan AMJB Palantir notes?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of Palantir is below the Trigger Value of 50% of the Initial Value, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is calculated as $1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return), where Stock Return is the percentage change from the Initial Value.
