The graphic is supposed to illustrate the fall in market value, not the absolute market value, and so when comparing the fall in market value, equally sized circles are appropriate. If it was to demonstrate absolute market value at any given time, then all the circles would be different sizes proportional to the absolute market value.
Maybe I'm being pedantic, but I'm a tester. I'm supposed to be pedantic.

Good old HSBC, glad to see a stalwart of the British banking sector remaining strong.
I am half tempted to close ALL my accounts and open new Current, Saving and Busineess Current and Business Deposit accounts with HSBC as a reward for being sensible and diversifying their risk.

If the blue circles were all the same size it would be painfully apparent to the advertiser's target group that Both Deutsche Bank and Santander have fared better than JP Morgan, but of course senior management wouldn't be pleased if someone were to say that.
Deutcher = ~82% loss
JPM = ~58% loss
Santander = ~54% loss
The circles are proportional to their market value.
