The company has faced growth challenges, with its 5.7% annual revenue increase over the past five years falling short of that of other financial companies. Moreover, the company’s low return on equity reflects management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively.
When stacked against its peer in the diversified banks industry, The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) shares have surged 65.8% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming BNY stock.
Wall Street’s view of BNY stock is moderately optimistic. Among the 18 analysts covering the stock, the overall consensus rating is “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $142.50 is below the current price levels. However, its Street-high price target of $156 offers a 8.3% upside potential.
