First Horizon price target raised to $17.50 from $16 at JPMorgan

JPMorgan analyst Steven Alexopoulos raised the firm’s price target on First Horizon to $17.50 from $16 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares as part of a Q1 earnings preview for the mid- and small-cap banks. Once the Federal Reserve starts to lower interest rates, the banks should see a “powerful valuation reset,” the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees “significant upside potential” with several catalysts now in sight for the banks and keeps a bullish sector stance.
