Effective May 21, 2026, BNY's common stock begins trading on the NYSE under the new ticker symbol BNY, transitioning from the legacy BK ticker. The change aligns the company's market identity with its brand and strategic direction. Shareholder rights, holdings, and existing stock certificates remain valid with no action required. The change comes after strong Q1 results with $5.41B revenue and EPS of $2.25 that beat expectations. JPMorgan recently raised its price target from $130.50 to $140 with an Overweight rating. The company is also enhancing digital efficiency through a partnership with Snapdocs for automated mortgage solutions.
Bank of New York Mellon will officially change its NYSE ticker symbol from BK to BNY on May 21, 2026 to align with its rebrand and strategic direction. The stock is trading near 52-week highs around $132-$137 on May 18, with the ex-dividend date hit the same day. JPMorgan raised its price target from $130.50 to $140 and kept an Overweight rating, citing strong Q1 momentum (EPS $2.25 vs. $1.94 expected; revenue $5.41B). The company is also pushing into digital efficiency via a Snapdocs partnership for mortgage automation and expanding into crypto custody. Shares have gained roughly 52.6% over the past 12 months.
BNY confirmed it will transition its NYSE ticker symbol from BK to BNY effective May 21, 2026, aligning its market identity with its rebranded corporate name and strategic focus on platform-driven custody, crypto custody and AI investments. JPMorgan lifted its price target on the bank from $130.50 to $140 with an Overweight rating on May 11, reflecting confidence in continued fee growth after a Q1 print that delivered 14% adjusted revenue growth and a 29% return on tangible common equity. The bank is also expanding its digital footprint via a partnership with Snapdocs to automate mortgage collateral delivery. Why it matters: a higher Street price target, the symbolic rebrand and strong ROTCE underscore BNY's pivot from a sleepy custodian to a higher-growth platform business, and the consensus Street price now skews bullish. The bear case: the ticker change is cosmetic and underlying custody fees remain rate-sensitive; if the Fed begins cutting, NII tailwinds reverse, and crypto-custody growth remains small relative to the core book.
On May 11, 2026, Bank of New York Mellon announced it will change its NYSE ticker symbol from BK to BNY effective May 21, 2026 — only the symbol changes; legal name, capital structure, and listing remain unchanged.

Separately, BK agreed to partner with Finstreet Limited and ADI Foundation to offer Bitcoin and Ethereum custody services in the UAE, deepening its digital-asset franchise. Q1 2026 results showed 14% adjusted revenue growth and 29% return on tangible common equity ($5.41B revenue, $2.25 EPS vs $1.94 est). JP Morgan kept Overweight and raised PT to $140 from $130.50 on May 11. Shares traded $131.93-$137.61 mid-May (~$135.02) and are up 52.6% over 12 months. Bear case: ticker change creates short-term tracking friction for passive funds; crypto custody adds regulatory tail risk.
Bank of New York Mellon announced on May 11, 2026 that its common stock will begin trading under the new ticker BNY (from BK) on the NYSE effective May 21, 2026, aligning market identity with brand and strategy. The company is expanding into the UAE through a partnership with Finstreet Limited and the ADI Foundation to offer Bitcoin and Ethereum custody, with plans to broaden into stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. BNY oversees $59.4 trillion in AUC/A and $2.1T AUM as of March 31. Q1 2026 EPS of $2.25 beat the $1.93 forecast on revenue of $5.41B versus $5.17B est. Shares have returned ~55% over the past year.

The legal name and capital structure are unchanged. JP Morgan maintained an Overweight rating on the same day and raised its price target from $130.50 to $140.00, a 7.28% increase. BNY oversees $59.4 trillion in assets under custody and administration plus $2.1 trillion under management as of Q1, and the stock has gained 52.6% over the past 12 months after Q1 EPS of $2.25 beat the $1.93 consensus on $5.41B revenue. The bear case is limited near-term but watch for execution risk on the symbol transition and any disruption to index/ETF holdings during the change.

Stock trades at $134.52 with a $91.59B market cap; Truist raised its target to $148 (Buy) after the Q1 earnings beat on stronger investment services fees, and Barclays kept Buy as of May 4. Average analyst target is $135.55.
