JPMorgan Stock Explodes on $10B Security Bet as CEO Warns of 30% Crash Risk

by
13 October 2025
  • JPMorgan unveils a $1.5 trillion, 10-year plan to boost U.S. strategic industries – including $10 billion in direct investments in critical sectors (AI, defense, energy, etc.) [1] [2]. The bank will hire more staff and put cash into companies vital to national security.
  • Shares jumped ~2.4% on Oct. 13, 2025 (to about $308.13) after the plan was announced [3] [4]. That rally came amid easing U.S.-China trade fears: President Trump downplayed new tariffs over the weekend, sending futures sharply higher [5] [6].
  • CEO Jamie Dimon cautions the market is “far more likely” to see a 30% crash than Wall Street’s 10% expectation [7] [8]. He cited geopolitical risks, fiscal spending, and a potential AI-stock bubble as fuel for a major correction.
  • Q3 earnings season is about to kick off. Analysts expect strong results: EPS around $4.85 (up ~11% YoY) on $45.5 b revenue [9]. Citi’s Keith Horowitz and others raised price targets to $325–330, forecasting another robust quarter [10]. The consensus rating is Moderate Buy (13 Buys, 6 Holds) with an average target ~$330 [11].
  • AI-driven analysis sees outsized upside vs tiny risk. Proprietary models note a “mid-channel oscillation” and identify trades targeting 6–7% gains with only ~0.3% risk (reward/risk >20:1) [12] [13]. Key support is near $298 and resistance around the $318 all-time high [14] [15].

Market Context: U.S. stocks have run hot in 2025 (S&P 500 +~11–15% YTD on an AI-fueled rally [16]), but volatility is rising. Safe havens surged recently: gold topped $4,000/oz and U.S. Treasury yields ticked down [17]. Traders are bracing for Fed rate cuts later this year even as a shutdown delays key data [18] [19].

In-Depth Analysis: On Oct. 13 JPMorgan laid out a sweeping initiative to shore up domestic supply chains and tech. Reuters reports JPMorgan will “invest up to $10 billion in U.S. companies considered critical to national security and economic resilience” [20]. This “security and resiliency” program spans defense/aerospace, energy independence and frontier tech (including AI/quantum) [21] [22]. CEO Dimon said “America needs more speed and investment,” warning the U.S. has become “too reliant on unreliable sources” for vital minerals and tech [23] [24].

The market cheered: JPM shares gained pre-market (~+1.4%) and closed 2.4% higher at $308.13 [25] [26]. Broader markets rallied on Monday too, as Trump’s weekend tweet (“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine!”) eased a trade-war scare [27] [28]. Futures in the Nasdaq were up nearly 2%, and U.S. indexes opened sharply higher on Oct. 13 [29] [30].

Despite the rally, JPM stock remains below its recent peak (~$318 on Sept. 29 [31]). Expert analysts note mixed signals. The Stock Traders Daily AI models flag “weak near-term sentiment” but see an “exceptional 22.7:1 risk-reward setup” for upside [32] [33]. In plain terms, algorithms identify trades aiming for ~6–7% gains with minimal downside. The models mark support around $298 and resistance near the old high (~$318) [34] [35]. In other words, a breakout above $309–310 could trigger a run toward the peak, with stops only a fraction below.

Wall Street strategists echo cautious optimism. TipRanks notes JPMorgan has outperformed (+~28% YTD) thanks to heavy interest income and resilient trading fees [36]. Citi’s Keith Horowitz lifted his target to $325 (Neutral) and Evercore’s Glenn Schorr to $330 (Outperform), citing a “stellar summer” for banks and forecasting another quarter to “beat and raise” on strong fundamentals [37]. The average analyst target (~$330) implies ~8–10% upside from here [38].

Outlook: The consensus is that JPMorgan is well-positioned, but risks abound. Dimon’s 30% crash warning (over the next 6–24 months) underscores market fragility [39]. Still, if the investment initiative ignites new revenue streams (in AI, clean energy, etc.), JPM’s long-term growth could justify lofty valuations. Technical models see skewed odds in favor of a rally: a tiny pullback could set up a move toward $318, which would require clearing that ceiling. Analysts expect robust Q3 results tomorrow (Oct. 14) that may reinforce bullish forecasts [40].

Key Takeaway: JPMorgan’s stock is on investors’ radar for both a potential thrilling upside (new strategic investments + strong earnings) and a sharp downside risk (as warned by Dimon amid a “frothy” market). For now, the tape suggests bullish momentum: shares have rebounded from $300 to $308 this week [41], and most signals point to further gains if support holds. But given mixed market signals, investors should brace for volatility around the upcoming earnings release and broader policy shifts [42] [43].

  • Douglas Lane Cuts GoDaddy Exposure as Stock Sinks From Highs
    October 13, 2025, 12:40 PM EDT. Douglas Lane & Associates disclosed a Q3 sale of 22,113 GoDaddy shares, estimated at $3.4 million, leaving the fund with 668,472 shares worth about $91.5 million as of Sept. 30, 2025. GoDaddy now accounts for roughly 1.27% of the fund's AUM, below the firm's top holdings, and the stake sits under 1.3% of its 13F assets after the sale. The fund's top holdings post-trade include NVDA, GOOGL, JPM, MSFT and QCOM. GoDaddy trades around $132.26, down about 17% over the past year and well behind the S&P 500, up ~13%. The Foolish Take notes the trim signals reducing exposure to a volatile tech name after a rough stretch, with GoDaddy down ~40% from January highs despite steady fundamentals. Q2 revenue $1.21B and EPS $1.41, but forward guidance remained cautious.
  • 2 Dividend Stocks to Double Up on Right Now: VICI and Starbucks
    October 13, 2025, 12:39 PM EDT. With growth stocks steering the market, this piece argues investors shouldn't overlook dividend stocks for income and resilience. It highlights VICI Properties (VICI), a diversified REIT with trophy assets on the Las Vegas Strip, offering a 6% yield and a history of dividend growth despite rising interest rates, thanks to lower vacancy risk. It also notes Starbucks (SBUX), whose businesses face China and U.S. headwinds but remain profitable, with a cash-rich profile and a dividend yield at a multi-year high as the stock slides. As expectations grow for Fed rate cuts later this year, the argument favors income-oriented long-term holdings rather than chasing only growth stocks.
  • US stocks rebound as Trump eases China tariff fears; Dow, S&P, Nasdaq surge led by Nvidia AI rally
    October 13, 2025, 12:37 PM EDT. U.S. stocks rebounded today after Friday's selloff as President Trump softened tariff talk on China, easing investor fears. The Dow jumped 574.91 points to 46,054.51 (+1.26%), while the S&P 500 gained about 1.1% and the Nasdaq Composite rose ~1.5%. Tech and AI stocks led the move: Nvidia (NVDA) up ~3.7%, Alphabet (GOOGL) and Tesla (TSLA) higher, with Amazon (AMZN) and Meta (META) adding over 1.5%. Broad-based gains came on a AI chip deal: Broadcom (AVGO) up 6% after a 10-GW project with OpenAI. Other chipmakers like AMD, TSMC, Micron climbed 3-4%. Bloom Energy (BE) surged 28% following Brookfield's $5B AI data center pledge, underscoring AI infrastructure demand. Trump kept pressure on Beijing, while China's export growth beat forecasts.
  • Salesforce's Recovery Potential Is Stretching Like A Spring (NYSE:CRM)
    October 13, 2025, 12:35 PM EDT. Salesforce's stock looks poised for a spring-like rebound as demand for cloud software steadies. The note argues CRM could unlock value through operating leverage, improving gross margins, and a shift toward higher-margin, subscription-based offerings. Catalysts include AI-enabled products, broader cross-sales across the platform, and renewed customer spend in core clouds. While near-term macro softness and competitive pressure temper confidence, a steadier revenue trajectory and healthier cash flow could lift the shares. The piece highlights the importance of clear guidance, disciplined capital allocation, and earnings quality as proof points for upside. Taken together, CRM's recovery hinges on execution and AI-driven expansion continuing to translate into real profitability.
  • BitMine Adds 202,037 ETH in Aggressive Buy Amid Sell-off; Tom Lee Highlights Volatility Advantage
    October 13, 2025, 12:34 PM EDT. BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) disclosed an aggressive accumulation of 202,037 ETH worth about $827 million during the weekend sell-off, lifting total holdings to over 3 million ETH (roughly $13.4 billion in assets). The average price cited was about $4,154 per ETH. Tom Lee of Fundstrat framed the move as a disciplined use of volatility to gain a long-term advantage, noting the price decline created opportunity and that BitMine is more than halfway toward its target dubbed the alchemy of 5% of ETH. Analysts say such treasury buying could spur peers. Despite the buys, BMNR shares have fallen roughly 10% in five days amid broader market chaos and a short-seller report.
