Dimon signals possible return of $20 billion JPMorgan deal

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank could shell out $10 billion to $20 billion for a deal sometime in the next few years, according to Bloomberg Law.

The bank is expecting $40 billion to $50 billion in excess capital above what regulations require. That’s as Washington loosens its grip on bank rules, giving big lenders more capacity for stock buybacks or acquisitions.

STB Puts Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern Deal on Hold, Seeks More Details

Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern cleared a hurdle as the U.S. Surface Transportation Board said Thursday it would accept their revised filing on the planned $85 billion merger, but put the case on pause.

Deal is still on the table, but the move puts off the launch of the first coast-to-coast freight rail network in the U.S. If regulators sign off, Union Pacific would take over Norfolk Southern, bringing their routes together for roughly 50,000 miles of track across 43 states.

  • ASML Hovering Near $1,800, Eyes on Possible Split
    July 4, 2026, 2:17 PM EDT. ASML shares are up more than 64% in 2026, finishing close to $1,800 per share. While the high price has put splits on the radar, there's no guarantee the company will act. Splits let retail traders buy in at lower prices, but with strong demand and a market cap nearing $700 billion, management isn't under pressure to move. Recent big orders from SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics show continued business momentum for ASML. Still, some investors say the focus should stay on fundamentals and risk, as splits can bring quick swings and profit-taking.
