Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers JPMorgan Chase’s (JPM) Q1 2026 earnings call.

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is the largest US bank, operating across consumer banking, investment banking, trading, and asset/wealth management. The bank posted $16.5B in net income and 10% revenue growth, driven by strong trading (+21% fixed income, +17% equities) and a rebound in investment banking fees (+28%). Management emphasized that the US consumer remains “resilient,” with spending still growing and credit performance stable, though heavily dependent on a strong labor market. The bank flagged rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East and higher energy prices as key watch points. Jamie Dimon warned that while private credit isn’t systemic, the next credit cycle could produce worse-than-expected losses. A major focus was regulatory pressure, with Basel III and GSIB rules potentially adding roughly $20B in capital and raising borrowing costs. AI remains a double-edged sword, driving fraud prevention and customer tools, but increasing cyber risk. Results were better than expected, but shares were down less that 1% on 4/14…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers BlackRock’s (BLK) Q1 2026 earnings call.

BlackRock (BLK) is the world’s largest asset manager, overseeing trillions across ETFs (iShares), active funds, private markets, and its Aladdin risk/portfolio technology platform. The company delivered a strong Q1 with $130B in net inflows, 8% organic base fee growth, and 27% revenue growth. The call centered on three big ideas: (1) clients consolidating assets with fewer firms, benefiting BlackRock’s “whole portfolio” model; (2) private credit demand staying strong on the institutional side despite some retail noise, with spreads widening and opportunity improving; and (3) retirement reform, especially the push to bring private assets into 401(k)s, as a major long-term growth driver. Management also highlighted rising demand for international exposures, continued momentum in ETFs and direct indexing (Aperio), and the role of AI in driving infrastructure investment and data needs. Shares rose 3.1% on 4/14 in reaction to the better-than-expected results…

Management emphasized resilience in US consumers (card spend +5%, improving credit) while flagging rising macro risks from Middle East conflict and inflation. Services continue to be a key differentiator, with mandates up 40% and cross-border activity +12%, reinforced by investments in tokenization and real-time payments. Investment banking remains active, especially M&A, though sponsors are more cautious. The stock was up 2.7% on 4/14 after posting better-than-expected results, and it’s up almost 23% since 3/30…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Goldman Sachs’ (GS) Q1 2026 earnings call.

Goldman Sachs (GS) is a leading global investment bank and financial services firm. The company posted ROE of 19.8%, driven by heavy client engagement as volatility picked up late in the quarter. Trading and financing grew as clients repositioned portfolios amid geopolitical tension, AI disruption concerns, and energy market swings. M&A activity remained highly resilient with a strong backlog, while IPOs and sponsor activity lagged but are expected to rebound. Private credit was a major focus given rising concerns around retail fund outflows and where the industry stands in a late-stage credit cycle, but Goldman pushed back on the narrative, highlighting that its exposure is heavily institutional, spreads are becoming more lender-friendly, and a downturn could actually create better deployment opportunities. The firm is leaning into financing growth (record lending, strong Asia expansion) while investing heavily in AI infrastructure to drive efficiency and long-term growth. Management flagged AI capex, regulatory easing, and fiscal stimulus as key tailwinds, but noted rising uncertainty from geopolitics and energy prices. GS recorded better-than-expected EPS and revenue, though shares fell 1.9% on 4/13…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Delta Air Lines’ (DAL) Q1 2026 earnings call.

Delta Air Lines (DAL) is one of the largest global airlines, differentiating itself through a premium-heavy product mix and a powerful loyalty ecosystem anchored by its American Express partnership. Delta serves both high-end leisure travelers and corporate clients, offering insight into global travel demand, consumer discretionary spending, and business activity trends. Delta delivered record Q1 revenue of $14.2B (+9.4% YoY) with EPS of $0.64, as demand remained resilient across corporate and premium segments. Cash sales rose double-digits, and corporate revenue hit a record, signaling strong travel demand despite macro uncertainty. The biggest storyline was fuel, with prices roughly doubling and adding over $2B in incremental costs for Q2. Delta is aggressively cutting low-return capacity and expects to recapture 40–50% of fuel headwinds near-term, with stronger pricing power building into summer. Management emphasized that high fuel prices could drive industry consolidation, positioning Delta to gain share. International demand (especially transatlantic and Asia) remains strong, while loyalty and premium offerings continue to drive margin expansion. DAL shares opened up 11% on 4/8 on better-than-expected earnings and trimmed guidance…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Nike’s (NKE) Q3 2026 earnings call.

Nike (NKE) designs, manufactures, and markets athletic footwear, apparel, and equipment across performance sports and lifestyle categories, serving athletes from elite professionals to everyday consumers. Nike is in the middle of a deliberate reset, sacrificing near-term growth to clean up inventory and rebuild a healthier, more profitable business. Running (+20%) and other performance categories are gaining traction, while sportswear remains a drag as the company works through excess product. Management is moving back toward wholesale, with North America showing clear improvement (wholesale +11%), but Greater China (-10%) and EMEA remain pressured by promotions and weaker traffic. Margins were hit by heavy discounting and about 300 bps of tariff impact, though Nike expects improvement later in 2027. Innovation remains a bright spot, with new platforms like Nike Mind selling out globally. NKE reported better-than-expected EPS and revenue, and cut guidance. Shares fell more than 15% on 4/1, the stock’s worst day in almost two years…
