What Are Wall Street Analysts Saying?

UBS lowered its target from $142 to $139 with a Neutral rating on 5 October, and JPMorgan cut from $149 to $147 with an Overweight rating on 2 October. Evercore set a $140 target on 1 October.

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

The gap between the $129.61 share price and targets of $139 to $176 suggests analysts expect improvement. Market data says the most recent quarter's earnings per share of $3.15 beat a $2.74 consensus, with revenue up 14.5% year on year to $24.77 billion.

If results continue to beat expectations, analysts could raise their forecasts. Banks are generally influenced by interest rates, trading and investment banking activity, credit quality and capital return plans.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

Recent revisions from UBS and JPMorgan were downward, and UBS keeps a Neutral rating. An independent ratings service downgraded the stock from Strong-Buy to Hold in September, and another lowered its grade on 2 October.

Large banks can be affected by credit losses, regulatory capital requirements, economic slowdowns and market volatility, any of which could lead analysts to cut their targets. The lowest market data target of $135 is only modestly above the share price.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

Items to watch include whether analysts continue to trim targets and whether the Hold ratings increase.
