JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Financial) experienced a slight decline today, with its stock price falling by 0.68% to $233.13. The movement comes amidst broader market fluctuations, influenced by global economic factors.
An analyst recently revised the price target for JPMorgan Chase, citing changes in global economic conditions. Despite this adjustment, there remains a positive long-term outlook for the bank. CFRA's Kenneth Leon updated his analysis on JPMorgan Chase following the bank's first-quarter results, which showed robust year-over-year growth and surpassed consensus estimates for both revenue and earnings.
However, ongoing global uncertainties, particularly related to U.S. trade policy, led Leon to reduce his equity risk premium for the stock. Consequently, he lowered the price target from $310 to $260 per share, which remains about 12% above the recent closing price. Despite this revision, Leon maintained a buy recommendation on JPM.
