Stock Market Today

  • JPMorgan Upgrades Capital One Despite 2026 Stock Drop, Sees 10.6% Upside
    April 9, 2026, 9:31 AM EDT. JPMorgan upgraded Capital One Financial to overweight from neutral amid a 20% drop in its 2026 stock price. Analyst Richard Shane cut the price target to $213 but still sees a 10.6% gain from Wednesday's close. The downgrade in price target reflects cautious views on consumer risks, including high energy costs and inflation. Shane cited the completion of Capital One's Discover Financial Services merger as a positive thematic factor. JPMorgan believes Capital One's strong reserves can shield it from worsening macroeconomic conditions, limiting further downside unless new risks materialize. The upgrade signals a buy-the-dip approach despite ongoing economic uncertainty.
