Odaily News JPMorgan analysts have begun to follow Circle (CRCL) stock, giving it a downgrade rating and setting a target price of $80 for December 2026. Analyst Kenneth Worthington pointed out that the forecast target represents a 55% decline from the current CRCL stock price of $180, based on an expected 45 times earnings per share (EPS) for 2027 plus a $10 pump potential premium. Given Circle's first-mover advantage and numerous use cases, it occupies a favorable position in the emerging stablecoin market, but its current market capitalization is already too high; if the target price for December 2026 is $80, it implies a market capitalization of about $21 billion.
