JPMorgan Chase reaffirmed their overweight rating on shares of KeyBanc (NYSE: KEY) in a report issued on Monday. They currently have a $10.50 target price on the stock, up from their previous target price of $10.00.

“Despite a new CEO repositioning the company in a more profitable direction long term, shares still trade at a sizable discount to peers. Even though there is risk to any turnaround story, with KEY shares trading at a 32% discount to peers on a P/TBV basis, we believe the bar is sufficiently low that even a modest improvement in operating performance could drive a much narrower discount valuation. In line with our increase in estimates, we are increasing our December 2013 price target from $10 to $10.50 which assumes the shares trade at 1.01x YE13 TBV of $10.44, or a 28% discount to peers.,” the firm’s analyst commented.

Shares of KeyBanc (NYSE: KEY) opened at 10.07 on Monday. KeyBanc has a 52 week low of $6.80 and a 52 week high of $10.16. The stock’s 50-day moving average is currently $9.57. The company has a market cap of $9.303 billion and a P/E ratio of 11.31.
