NEGATIVE IMPACT
Affirm Holdings was downgraded by Morgan Stanley from Equal-Weight to Underweight, although the price target was raised from $15 to $20.
The downgrade to Underweight suggests that Morgan Stanley believes Affirm Holdings' stock may perform worse than the average stock within the analyst's coverage universe. However, the increase in price target indicates a belief that the stock still has potential to grow from its current price, albeit at a potentially slower pace than its peers. This mixed signal could lead to short-term negative sentiment among investors, as the downgrade may weigh more heavily on the stock than the increased price target.
