JPMorgan cuts Brookfield stock price target to $61, keeps Overweight

On Tuesday, JPMorgan analyst Kenneth Worthington revised the price target for Brookfield Corporation (NYSE: BN) stock, lowering it to $61.00 from the previous $65.00. Despite this change, the firm maintains an Overweight rating on the shares. The company, currently valued at $87.85 billion, has shown remarkable momentum with a 46.44% return over the past year. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears to be trading near its Fair Value. Worthington highlighted Brookfield’s status as a top-tier alternative asset manager with a strong foothold in the Infrastructure sector, which stands to benefit in a higher interest rate environment and potential privatization trends post-COVID-19.

The analyst underscored Brookfield’s ongoing fundraising efforts, which are expected to significantly boost the company’s fee-earning assets and revenue, currently at $93.22 billion. This boost is anticipated to be driven primarily by the company’s flagship products, with additional support from the raising of perpetual funds and the launch of new products. Historical trends have shown that anticipation of such fundraising activities can lead to outperformance in stocks of alternative asset managers, and Worthington expects Brookfield to follow a similar trajectory.

Brookfield’s strategic positioning and diversified fundraising initiatives appear to provide a solid foundation for its Overweight rating, even as the price target has been adjusted. The analyst’s remarks reflect confidence in the company’s capacity to navigate the current financial landscape and capitalize on its strong market presence in alternative asset management.
