Citi Research on Monday lowered its rating on JPMorgan Chase to neutral from buy, citing a full valuation and lack of upside in a low-growth economy.
"In this environment, you want to rent not buy the banks," analyst Keith Horowitz wrote in a note to clients.
"In a prolonged low rate/growth environment, we believe the banks are more trading range stocks and we believe the time to add to positions is when sentiment is negative."
JPMorgan Chase shares are up 7 percent in the past month as the bank reported better-than-expected second quarter earnings in July.
