Summary · why it matters

Jim Cramer argued on Mad Money that the Magnificent 7's massive debt issuance is a clear signal that big banks are poised to profit from underwriting fees. Nvidia raised $25 billion in debt despite a 63% profit margin, Alphabet issued $31.1 billion in senior unsecured notes in Q1 2026, and Meta Platforms is rumored to soon raise billions, all routing fees through Wall Street. JPMorgan Chase reported Q1 2026 advisory fees surging 82% to $1.27 billion and investment banking fees up 28% to $2.88 billion, while Bank of America's investment banking fees rose 21% to $1.84 billion. Cramer also cited $1.2 trillion in M&A activity in the first five months of the year, a resilient consumer with retail sales up 0.9% month-over-month, and deregulation as additional tailwinds. He noted that JPMorgan still trades at a trailing P/E of 16 and forward P/E of 15, suggesting the stocks can rise further before being considered fully valued.
