JPMorgan analyst Richard Shane upgraded Santander Consumer (SC) to Neutral from Underweight and raised his price target for the shares to $23 from $20. The analyst remains constructive on the U.S. consumer into the second half of 2019 as he believes "strong" labor markets and wage growth "provide a stable foundation for credit." Santander Consumer is positioned to announce a "significant" return of capital heading into the Q1 reporting season, Shane tells investors in a research note. Discover Financial (DFS) is the analyst's best idea in the group over the next 12 to 18 months.
