JPMorgan has reported that the first quarter of 2025 was one of the strongest quarters on record for publicly traded bitcoin mining companies, reflecting improved industry economics. This positive outlook has led JPMorgan to raise price targets and upgrade ratings for key bitcoin mining firms. Specifically, JPMorgan upgraded Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) from Neutral to Overweight and increased its price target from $19 to $22, citing a shift from hosted mining models to owned facilities and a 75 EH/s target as factors improving mining operations. Similarly, Cantor Fitzgerald raised Marathon Digital's price target to $39 from $34 and maintained an Overweight rating. The broader cryptocurrency market rally, supported by a U.S.-E.U. trade deal easing global economic tensions, has contributed to these positive revisions. Additionally, other financial institutions have adjusted their price targets and ratings for various companies, including Barclays raising Applied Materials (AMAT) target to $170 from $160, Truist lowering AmeriSafe (AMSF) target to $50 from $54, and Piper Sandler raising Amerant Bancorp (AMTB) target to $26 from $25. JPMorgan also lowered Meritage Homes (MTH) target to $60 from $70 and maintained a Neutral rating. These updates reflect a generally optimistic investment environment across several sectors amid evolving market conditions.
