J.P. Morgan raised its year-end target for European equity indexes on Monday, citing corporate earnings strength and improvements in the geopolitical climate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Wall Street brokerage lifted the benchmark STOXX 600 index target to 680 from 630, implying an upside of about 7% from Friday’s close of 635.88 points. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

J.P. Morgan also raised its target for the MSCI Eurozone index – a performance gauge for euro-area equities, to 420 from 385.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Global financial markets have been bearing the brunt of the months-long Middle East conflict that has triggered inflation and potential rate hike concerns, but a U.S.-Iran peace deal has brought some stability. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“As the market continues to unwind the conflict’s impact, Eurozone should stand to benefit,” J.P. Morgan analysts leadby Mislav Matejka said in a note. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Additionally, if we see a broadening of the market in the 2H, Europe may once again become a compelling story.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While risks remain, including renewed geopolitical escalation, J.P. Morgan said, Europe could look attractive if markets resume pricing out the impact of conflict and market breadth improves.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A deeper-than-expected fall in oil prices, lower bond yields, reduced tariffs and a pickup in China’s economy could further support equities, the brokerage said, noting global investors remain underexposed to the region.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Barclays also raised its STOXX 600 year-end target and dropped its bearish stance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

EURO ZONE SEEN AS KEY DRIVER<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

J.P. Morgan reiterated its ‘overweight’ stance on euro zone equities, pointing to a strong profit recovery outlook. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It expects euro zone earnings to grow about 20% in 2026 after contracting last year, a key driver for regional markets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Robust earnings growth likely to be supported by a continued rebound in (economic) activity indicators,” the brokerage added. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The brokerage said improving growth dynamics and policy support could sustain the rally, particularly if macro conditions stabilise and earnings upgrades continue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It also highlighted that positioning remains light, leaving room for inflows if sentiment toward the region improves.<\/p>\n
