CNBC on Jan. 22 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “I’m talking about the U.S. stock market.”

His concern isn’t without merit. The U.S. stock market has been on a tear in recent years, with the S&P 500 soaring 23% in 2024 after an impressive 24% gain in 2023. Over the past five years, the benchmark index has skyrocketed over 80%, fueling fears that valuations may be running too hot.

Dimon has expressed caution before. According to Reuters, he told investors in May he was “
