JMP Raises Price Target On Synchrony Financial (SYF) To $88 From $77

Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF) is one of the S&P 500 stocks with a low PE ratio. On September 25, JMP Securities maintained a Market Outperform rating on SYF and lifted the price target from $77 to $88.

The price target adjustment followed encouraging management statements at recent conferences, where Synchrony executives reported strong credit results through August.

While company management reiterated its 2025 guidance, JMP upgraded its 2026 EPS estimate from $8.82 to $9.04. The research firm lifted its target 2026 EPS multiple from roughly 9x to 10x, citing clearer signs that differentiated partnerships on Synchrony’s platform offer a notable advantage against BNPL competitors.
