Street research remains broadly positive, pointing to robust balance sheet trends, resilient loan demand, and a supportive rate backdrop as justification for maintaining price targets in the low to mid $300s despite rising costs and a recent sector rally. Stay tuned to see how investors can track these evolving assumptions and the shifting story behind JPMorgan's stock in the months ahead.

???? Bullish Takeaways

Goldman Sachs raised its price target to $366 from $350 with a Buy rating after a Q3 earnings beat and a 20.5% ROTCE, seeing the higher 2025 net interest income guidance of $92.2B as achievable given stronger balance sheet growth and improving loan trends.

UBS lifted its target to $350 from $339 and reiterated a Buy rating, highlighting JPMorgan as a key beneficiary of deregulation, stronger capital markets activity, and solid loan growth that have supported broad gains in bank stocks.

Barclays increased its target to $342 from $330 while maintaining an Overweight rating, acknowledging continued earnings momentum into 2026 despite a higher expense base.

Citi raised its target to between $325 and $330 from $275 with a Neutral stance, reflecting lower cost of equity assumptions and expectations for another strong quarter, even as it signals more balanced upside from current levels.

???? Bearish Takeaways

Citi, despite materially lifting its price target range to $325 to $330, remains Neutral, indicating that valuation and near term upside may already discount strong execution and earnings power.

Barclays flags higher expenses as a key trade off to JPMorgan's extended momentum into 2026, a reminder that cost growth could pressure operating leverage if revenue or loan growth slows.
