Analysts are reshaping financial sector views. Three separate upgrades landed in the space today, pointing to growing confidence in credit and banking names.
BAC received an upgrade, pushing its consensus to a stronger buy-leaning stance. The $405 billion bank now has 21 buy ratings versus just 3 holds. RJF also got a lift, with its consensus tilting more bullish. SYF rounded out the trio — Synchrony Financial moved up a notch with a target of $89.43.
The standout downgrade came at JCI. Johnson Controls dropped a rating today, moving the consensus from 10 buys and 8 holds to a slightly more cautious mix. The $88 billion building-tech company had been a steady climber. Analysts may be flagging limited near-term upside after the stock's strong run.
On the mega-cap side, META saw its average target price nudge up to $763. GS and had targets trimmed slightly — a sign of modest caution on premium financials even as the broader sector gets upgrades.
AZO attracted a fresh new recommendation. The auto parts giant carries an average target of $3,781, with analysts firmly in the buy camp.
