JPMorgan stock edges higher after-hours as Barclays lifts target to $391 ahead of earnings

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 19:19 EST — After-hours

  • JPM shares up 0.2% at $334.61 in late trading
  • Barclays lifts JPM price target to $391, keeps “overweight”
  • JPMorgan reports fourth-quarter and full-year results on Jan. 13

JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) shares edged up 0.2% to $334.61 in after-hours trading on Tuesday after Barclays lifted its price target on the bank to $391 from $342. The stock traded between $330.95 and $335.80 during the session.

JPMorgan is scheduled to release fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results at about 7:00 a.m. ET on Jan. 13, followed by a conference call at 8:30 a.m., the bank said. The report is one of the first major reads from a U.S. megabank in the new year.

Traders will parse net interest income — the gap between what the lender earns on loans and securities and what it pays for deposits — for clues on how funding costs and loan growth are tracking. They will also watch credit costs and fee lines such as investment banking and trading, which tend to move with client activity.

Barclays said it expects the trends that it said drove double-digit earnings growth and bank-stock outperformance in 2025 to carry into 2026. A price target is a broker’s estimate of where a stock could trade over the next 12 months; “overweight” signals the analyst expects it to beat peers. TipRanks

The bank also drew attention this week after it launched a Special Advisory Services unit for a select group of long-term clients seeking guidance on market-moving themes. JPMorgan said the team, led by global chair of investment banking Liz Myers, will advise on topics including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital assets.

Interest-rate moves remained a key backdrop for bank stocks. U.S. Treasury data showed the benchmark 10-year yield rose to 4.18% on Tuesday from 4.17% a day earlier, while the 2-year edged up to 3.47% from 3.46%.

JPMorgan’s board has declared a quarterly dividend of $1.50 a share, payable on Jan. 31 to shareholders of record on Jan. 6.

But a higher cost base could limit upside if revenue growth cools. JPMorgan has said it expects 2026 expenses of about $105 billion, above analysts’ average estimate of $100.84 billion, and any fresh deterioration in credit quality would add pressure.

The next near-term macro catalyst for rate-sensitive shares is Friday’s U.S. payrolls report for December, due on Jan. 9. JPMorgan’s earnings on Jan. 13 will be the next major test for whether the stock can build on Tuesday’s push toward the $336 area.
