The ASX 200 bank share to buy now: Jefferies

Broker Jefferies has upped its rating on National Australia Bank Ltd (ASX: NAB) shares to buy.

The bank share opened at $28.39 on Tuesday, up 0.46%.

NAB recently released its third-quarter update and announced a major on-market share buyback.

Following this news, another top broker, Goldman Sachs, is also recommending NAB shares as a buy.

Goldman said:

NAB has released its 3Q23 trading update, with unaudited cash earnings from continuing operations of A$1.9 bn, down 7% on the 1H23 average, but run-rating 5% above what was implied by our prior 2H23E forecasts.

Goldman Sachs has a $30.51 price target on the ASX 200 bank share. This implies a potential upside of 7.5% over the next 12 months.
