JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon has announced his intention to sell one million of his 8.6 million shares in the company in 2024, marking his first stock sale since assuming his role in 2006. Despite this decision, Dimon, who boasts a net worth of $2 billion, will retain a substantial stake in the firm.
The planned sale is part of Dimon's financial diversification and tax planning strategy. This move contrasts with Warren Buffett's approach, who has held all his Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKa) shares since taking control in 1965, constituting 99% of his wealth valued over $110 billion.
Despite the impending sale, Dimon still holds unvested performance share units and stock appreciation rights related to JPMorgan shares. His confidence in the firm's prospects remains unshaken. Following the announcement of the planned sale, JPMorgan shares experienced a modest 0.7% drop.
Under Dimon's stewardship, JPMorgan has consistently outperformed the market, yielding a 13% annual return over the past decade. The company has also seen its market capitalization grow to over $400 billion, solidifying its position as the country's leading banking franchise.
