Why JPMorgan Chase Stock Fell Today
Shares of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) declined by 5% on Friday, after news broke that CEO Jamie Dimon required an emergency heart operation.
Dimon needed the operation to repair an acute aortic dissection, or a tear in the aorta, the inner layer of the large blood vessel branching off the heart. The procedure was successful, and Dimon was reported to be recovering well.
Co-presidents and chief operating officers Gordon Smith and Daniel Pinto will lead the company in Dimon's stead.
