Bank of America Raises JPMorgan Price Target to $420, Citing 21% Upside After Strong Q2 Earnings

JPMorgan beat Q2 EPS and revenue estimates. Bank of America raised price target to $420, highlighting AI capex, digital assets, and operational leverage as key drivers for future growth.

Woofun AI reports that Bank of America raised its price target for JPMorgan Chase from $408 to $420, maintaining a "Buy" rating following the bank's strong second-quarter results. The new target implies approximately 21% upside from Wednesday's closing price. JPMorgan reported adjusted earnings per share of $6.14, exceeding the $5.85 consensus, while revenue reached $52.42 billion against an expected $50.19 billion.

Analyst Ebrahim Poonawala highlighted JPMorgan's advantages in capital markets, AI capital expenditure, digital asset adoption, and operational leverage. The firm noted that scale investments cover branches, wealth management, and online banking in the UK and Europe. JPMorgan management observed continued resilience in the U.S. real economy despite macro impacts. Bank of America suggests that consumer and business resilience in a high-interest-rate environment may support the stock, which has gained nearly 8% year-to-date.
