Summary · why it matters

JPMorgan Chase has recorded a $4.6 billion gain from tendering 18.6 million Visa shares in April, boosting second-quarter net income to a record. The gain stems from a share exchange tied to Visa's pre-IPO structure, which created three share classes to ensure legacy bank owners would cover litigation costs from merchant lawsuits over swipe fees. JPMorgan previously booked gains of $7.9 billion in 2024 and $914 million in 2022 from similar exchanges. A judge has preliminarily approved a settlement between Visa, Mastercard, and retailers that could save merchants more than $200 billion over eight years.
