The bank noted that last week, RR reported H1 24 results well ahead of consensus.
JPM said it was increasing its 2024-27 earnings per share estimates by 9%/8%/7%, and its 2024-27 free cash flow estimates by £261m/£171m/£143m/£34m .
"We increase our multiples-based Dec-25 price target by 13% to 535p reflecting higher EPS estimates and a slightly higher target valuation multiple, justified by the increasing evidence that RR is becoming a more resilient company," it said.
JPM said the new price target implies 20% potential upside over the next 18 months.
The bank rates the shares at ‘overweight’.
At 1030 BST, the shares were up 3.1% at 457.60p.
