With a market cap of $21.6 billion, Northern Trust Corporation (NTRS) is a leading U.S. financial services firm based in Chicago. It serves institutions, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and corporations globally through its Asset Servicing and Wealth Management segments.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks,” and Northern Trust fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the asset management industry. With a dominant position in servicing trillions in institutional assets and a lean towards innovation, it stands as a pillar in global financial infrastructure.
NTRS touched its two-year high of $114.67 on Feb. 7 and is currently trading 3.2% below that peak. NTRS has rallied 12.9% over the past three months, underperforming the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLF) 2.4% rise over the same time frame.
NTRS stock has soared 8.3% on a YTD basis and 33.9% over the past 52 weeks, notably outperforming XLF’s 3.9% uptick in 2025 and 21.7% returns over the past year.
To confirm the overall bullish trend, NTRS has traded consistently above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since early May.
On June 18, Northern Trust shares gained over 1% as bank stocks rallied following reports that U.S. regulators may ease capital rules restricting Treasury trading.
In the financial services sector, Northern Trust has significantly outperformed its peer T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.’s (TROW) 18.5% decline in 2025 and a 21.6% drop over the past 52 weeks.
However, analysts remain cautious about the stock’s prospects. Among the 15 analysts covering the NTRS stock, the consensus rating is a “Hold,” and it currently trades above its mean price target of $107.11.
