Buckingham analyst James Mitchell upgraded Northern Trust to Buy and raised his price target to $115 from $104, saying his recent meetings with its management suggest that the market is not "fully appreciating" its model relative to its larger peers with a "vastly different client mix allowing for a more stable fee rate and better underlying growth." The analyst notes that Northern Trust stock is off 20% from its 12-month highs, but expects the quarter-to-date equity market appreciation to drive incremental gains to earnings. Mitchell also believes that Northern Trust has "plenty of runway for further above average organic growth across Europe, the U.S., and in alternatives."
