📊 The figure moving the board
JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup closed the first nine months of 2026 with combined net profits of nearly $105 billion, a year-over-year jump of almost 25%. Combined revenues totaled $353.533 billion, 12.9% more than in 2025. This is no minor detail: when the world’s biggest banks report that level of profit, they’re signaling an appetite for risk, resilient consumer spending, and buzzing financial markets.
