Prior to the recent hike, the company had raised its common stock dividend by 12.5% in October 2019. The company also has a share buyback program in place. Its board had approved a share repurchase program of up to $30 billion.

On September 16, Jefferies analyst Ken Usdin assigned a Buy rating to the stock with a price target of $177. The price target implies 15.7% upside potential.

Usdin said, “JPM sees recent strength in IB fees as having duration, with pipelines remaining strong. Trading has started to normalize, but has held up better-than-expected. JPM believes it can at least maintain its market share positions in IB/trading and add in Wholesale Payments and Securities Services.”

Consensus among analysts is a Moderate Buy based on 6 Buys, 4 Holds and 1 Sell. The average JPMorgan Chase & Co. price target stands at $167.80 and implies upside potential of 9.7%.
