Investing.com - Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) lowered its price target on UPS (NYSE:UPS) to $75.00 from $80.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining an Underweight rating on the package delivery company’s stock. The stock, currently trading at $90.83, is hovering near its 52-week low of $90.55, having declined about 26% year-to-date.
The price target reduction follows UPS’s second-quarter results, which Morgan Stanley described as a "modest miss versus lowered expectations."
The investment bank identified the "extreme lack of visibility" heading into the second half of the year as a more significant concern than the quarterly results themselves.
Morgan Stanley noted that while macroeconomic conditions remain choppy, UPS faces more operational challenges than most companies in its coverage universe.
The firm warned that a lower exit rate of earnings per share this year would likely put pressure on normalized earnings per share as well.
