JPMorgan Raises KeyCorp Price Target to $24.50, Maintains Neutral Rating

JPMorgan has increased its price target for KeyCorp (KEY) shares to $24.50, up from $22, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. This adjustment reflects the firm's expectations of two upcoming interest rate cuts. Furthermore, JPMorgan anticipates sticky long-term rates due to persistent inflation concerns. The outlook also factors in a favorable regulatory environment that is expected to drive increased bank consolidation within the sector. These combined factors contribute to a positive assessment for KeyCorp and potentially the broader banking industry.
