Happy Monday and welcome back to The Daily Courant, your afternoon roundup of Puck’s best new reporting. Here’s what you need to know… and stick around for a close look at the Wall Street succession saga of our time.

Meanwhile, on the pods…

And now, a little more on Jamie Dimon’s succession plan…

WALL STREET

Jamie Dimon—or King Jamie, as he’s known on Wall Street—has once again reshuffled the succession deck at JPMorgan Chase. On Thursday, Dimon, now 70 and into his third decade running the bank, announced that two white men—Doug Petno, 61, and Troy Rohrbaugh, 56—had been named co-presidents, and dropped the bombshell that Marianne Lake, once seen as his possible (perhaps even likely) successor, would relinquish her post as head of consumer banking. “Something happened,” Mike Mayo, the esteemed Wells Fargo analyst, told Bill. “The person I considered the frontrunner is no longer at JPMorgan.”

Optically, at least, the bank has set up a horse race between the two men, but it’s clear that Jamie and the board are trying to give Rohrbaugh, a former trader, experience in running different parts of the bank to see if he might be the one. The reality, though, is that Jamie and the board don’t seem eager to shake things up anytime soon. After all, Mayo noted, “Jamie Dimon is a generational C.E.O. His brand power has never been stronger, and JPMorgan monetizes that brand power when it comes to I.P.O.s, dealmaking, private banking, and even retail. … Ultimately, it comes down to Jamie Dimon staying on longer than expected, and I think that’s what investors want at this time.”
