Key points

  • NAB shares recorded almost nil gains for the month of April 
  • This comes despite reaching a 52-week high last week 
  • Morgans is bullish on the NAB share price, raising its price target by 11% to $34 

The National Australia Bank Ltd. (ASX: NAB) share price continued its upwards trajectory for the majority of the Month of April.

The banking giant's shares gained almost 4% until late last week before recording four consecutive days of losses.

Nonetheless, NAB shares finished trading on Friday 1.37% higher to $32.63. This means that for April, its shares have remained relatively flat.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) finished the month up 1.06% at 7,435 points.

When looking at the other major banks, NAB fared quite well.

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) share price dropped 0.62% in April, while Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC) sunk 0.33% and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ASX: ANZ) gained 0.44%.

How is the NAB share price valued?

While the bank didn't release any market announcements throughout the month, a couple of brokers did weigh in on the NAB share price.

The team at Citi raised its 12-month price target for the bank's shares by 8.2% to $33 apiece. It appears that the broker believes that NAB is fully valued at the moment, with investors agreeing alike given the current share price.

On the other hand, analysts at Morgans had a slightly more bullish take, raising its rating by 11% to $34.

Based on the bank's share price, this implies an upside of roughly 5% from where it trades today.

NAB share price summary

Despite seesawing in April, the NAB share price has actually risen by 11% in 2022.

When looking further back, its shares are up 20% over the past 12 months.

Notably, the bank's shares reached a 52-week high of $33.75 on 21 April, before giving up their gains.

NAB commands a market capitalisation of about $105.01 billion, making it the fourth largest company on the ASX.
