Reason
TD Cowen analyst Steven Alexopoulos reiterated a Buy rating and $370 price target on JPMorgan after Marianne Lake, the lender's CEO of Consumer and Community Banking, presented at a recent investors conference providing updates on Q4 capital markets activity and the 2026 expense outlook. With shares trading down roughly 4% following the elevated 2026 expense guidance, the firm views the pullback as a chance to add exposure to a "N-of-1" bank that continues to extend its leadership position. While the outlook is weighing on the shares, it should buoy organic growth, and consumers remain resilient, with no notable changes in credit quality at either the lower or higher end of the spectrum, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
