Analyst consensus & price targets
- Current analyst targets
- Target Low: 235.0
- Target Median: 330.0
- Target High: 370.0
- Current price: 309.18
- Number of analysts: 23
- Target Mean: 319.52
- Interpretation
- The median target of 330 implies ~6.7% upside from current levels, while the mean target (~319.52) is slightly below the median, suggesting a few more conservative views align with the current price. The spread up to 370 indicates a non-trivial upside if JPM achieves earnings momentum and multiple expansion.
- Potential catalysts
- Higher net interest income in a stable to rising-rate environment
- Cost discipline and efficiency improvements
- Strong capital return policy (buybacks and dividends)
- Positive revisions from sell-side analysts and guidance upgrades
- Macro resilience in consumer/commercial banking and wealth management segments
Price Target Analysis (Short, Mid, Long-Term)
- Short-Term (3 months)
- Target range: 235 – 370; Median target 330
- Current price 309.18; The near-term potential is modest upside to 330 (approx +6.7%) if the revisions trend remains positive and macro conditions hold. Upside risk includes near-term rate expectations, macro uncertainty, or higher provision costs.
- Drivers: steady NII, continued fee-based revenue, and positive EPS revisions; derisk via a robust balance sheet and strong cash position.
- Mid-Term (12 months)
- Target: 330 (median) with upside to 370 (high) if earnings momentum sustains and multiple expansion occurs.
- Justification: The ongoing earnings power of JPM (driven by NII, fees, and cost discipline) alongside a healthy balance sheet supports a higher earnings base, potentially lifting earnings multiples. Analyst revisions leaning positive bolster the case for multiple expansion.
- Drivers: continued rate environment stability, capital return, and accretive share repurchases; improving macro backdrop.
- Long-Term (3+ years)
- Target rationale: the bank’s scale, diversified revenue streams (NII, non-interest income, wealth management), strong capital framework, and global franchise position support durable growth and earnings resilience.
- Drivers: structural growth in fees (payments, advisory, asset management), ongoing efficiency gains, and capital return policy; potential multiple expansion if loan growth and net interest margins stabilize at elevated levels.
- Risks: credit cycle deterioration, regulatory/regulatory-compliance costs, competitive pressures in payments/fintech, and macro shocks impacting loan performance.
Key risks & opportunities
- Key risks
- Credit cycle risk in commercial/consumer portfolios
- Potential regulatory changes and higher compliance costs
- Interest rate volatility and net interest margin pressure in stressed scenarios
- Economic downturn or slower loan growth could compress profits
- Key opportunities
- Elevated interest rates in the near term providing NII uplift
- Share repurchases and dividend growth supporting shareholder value
- Diversified revenue streams (wealth management, payments) offering ballast during cycles
- Leverage of technology and scale to improve efficiency and fee generation
Investment recommendation
- Rating: Hold to cautiously constructive
- Time horizon: 12–24 months
- Rationale:
- The current price sits close to the median analyst target, with a potential ~7% upside to 330 and a larger upside to 370 if earnings momentum and multiples expand. JPM’s strong balance sheet, solid profitability metrics (ROE ~16%), substantial cash position, and positive EPS revision trend support a constructive stance.
- Near-term risks center on MACD/sentiment dynamics and macro rate expectations; however, JPM’s franchise quality and capital returns provide downside protection.
- Expected return potential (12–24 months): approximately 5–15% upside aligned with the scenario where the median target is achieved and some multiple expansion occurs; the high-target scenario could approach ~20%+ if conditions are favorable.

- The three horizontal lines (235 green, 330 blue, 370 red) provide a visual framework for downside, base-case, and upside scenarios relative to JPM’s current level. The proximity of JPM’s current price to the median target (330) supports a reiteration of a constructive stance, with optional upside above the median if earnings revisions stay positive and macro conditions support rate-sensitive banks.
If you’d like, I can:
- Add a brief sensitivity analysis showing upside/downside if forward EPS grows at different CAGR assumptions.
- Compare JPM to key peers (e.g., BAC, C, MS) on the same metrics to contextualize relative valuation and upside potential.
