J.P. Morgan Securities' latest "Short-Term Fixed Income" weekly features a section titled, "Corporates maintain large liquidity portfolios, and even larger cash balances." It states, "As expected, corporations continue to maintain large liquidity portfolios. Based on balance sheet data for S&P 500 non-financial companies, we estimate liquidity portfolio balances as of 4Q25 registered $2.6tn, an increase of $119bn QoQ and $257bn YoY. At these levels, they surpass even the prior peak of $2.5tn in the months after Covid in 2020." (Note: Please join us next week for our Bond Fund Symposium, March 19-20 in Boston. We're still taking registrations!)
