J.P. Morgan has released its 2026 Summer Reading List, the bank’s 27th annual edition, and brought back its NextList Summer Series for a second year.
The list includes 14 titles. In announcing it, J.P. Morgan said the selection spans leadership, AI, geopolitics, performance and longevity.
The release was published on May 18, 2026 and was later corroborated by Reuters-syndicated coverage and J.P. Morgan Private Bank’s own summer reading page.
The bank has used the annual list as a public-facing way to highlight books tied to business and leadership themes. This year’s NextList series extends that idea into a separate set of experiences.
J.P. Morgan did not frame the announcement as a market-moving development, but the annual list remains a recurring piece of corporate content that draws attention for the titles it elevates and the themes it emphasizes.
The company said the 2026 list and NextList series are part of its summer programming this year.
