JPMorgan prices $1.424M callable contingent notes due 2029
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC priced $1,424,000 of Callable Contingent Interest Notes due May 24, 2029, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a Contingent Interest Rate of 13.65% per annum (equal to $11.375 per $1,000 per month) on each Interest Payment Date if each underlying is at or above an Interest Barrier of 50.00% of its Initial Value. The notes are linked to the least performing of XLY, SMH and the Russell 2000®, may be called early beginning August 24, 2026, and will pay at maturity either principal plus contingent interest (if all Final Values are at or above Trigger Values) or a cash amount equal to $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Least Performing Underlying Return (which could result in loss of more than 50% or all principal). The notes priced May 19, 2026, are expected to settle on or about May 22, 2026, and were offered at $1,000 per note (selling commissions and estimated hedging/structuring costs included).

Insights
These are short‑term callable contingent‑coupon notes with high coupon potential but principal downside tied to the worst-performing underlying.
The notes pay monthly contingent coupons ($11.375 per $1,000) only when all three underlyings are >= 50% of their Initial Values; otherwise coupons for that Review Date are skipped and may only be paid later if all underlyings recover on a subsequent Review Date.
Key dependencies include the individual performance of XLY, SMH and the Russell 2000®, issuer/guarantor credit, and the issuer's early‑call option (earliest call date August 24, 2026). Secondary market liquidity and repurchase prices are limited and likely below original issue price.
The estimated model value was materially below the price to public, reflecting embedded costs and dealer margins.
The pricing supplement states an estimated value of $969.20 per $1,000 versus an issue price of $1,000, with selling commissions up to $9.50 per $1,000. The estimated value uses an internal funding rate and internal derivative models.
Model inputs (volatility, funding rate, correlation among underlyings) and the internal funding rate drive valuation differentials; future secondary prices may reflect further discounts and limited liquidity.
