Analyst Price Targets don’t always capture the full story. Head over to our Company Report to find new ways to value Quilter.

• JPMorgan has one of the higher targets on Quilter, lifting its fair value view to 223 GBp from 210 GBp while keeping an Overweight rating, which signals confidence that the shares have room to better reflect its thesis.

• Citi and Berenberg have also adjusted their targets upward in recent months, with Citi making multiple small increases and Berenberg lifting its target by 20 GBp, which points to a generally constructive stance among part of the analyst group.

• Barclays, despite raising its target to 170 GBp from 140 GBp, maintains an Underweight rating. This underlines a view that the shares may be pricing in a lot of the potential already.

• The spread between Barclays at 170 GBp and JPMorgan at 223 GBp highlights a clear divide on valuation and execution risk. This gives you a sense that expectations across the Street are far from aligned.
