Analyst target sits 22.72 percent higher
The USD 88.25 consensus target stands 22.72 percent above the September 28 price. The same MarketBeat report says 10 analysts held buy ratings and seven held, producing a Moderate Buy consensus across 17 analysts. That distribution gives the target gap more context than the headline price alone.
Second quarter EPS beat consensus
Synchrony reported USD 2.59 in quarterly EPS for the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 2.14 consensus, while revenue reached USD 3.72 billion, according to MarketBeat.
