  • St. James's Place Fair Value Rises Amid Mixed Analyst Price Target Revisions
    February 4, 2026, 5:25 AM EST. St. James's Place (LSE:STJ) sees its fair value estimate nudge up to £16.63 from £15.95, following a recent wave of analyst price target revisions ranging from £13.75 to £19.50. Deutsche Bank leads with a bullish £19.50 target, signalling optimism around company execution and capital allocation. Conversely, RBC Capital's more cautious £13.75 target and minor JPMorgan adjustments suggest lingering skepticism about near-term revenue risks and valuation. The revision was driven by a slightly lower discount rate of 8.27% (reflecting reduced risk assumptions), a marginally less severe revenue decline forecast of 61.40%, and a lift in projected profit margins. Investors are advised to monitor these evolving forecasts as analysts gauge St. James's Place's delivery on operational targets amid a varied market outlook.
