Interesting shift happening at Morgan Stanley today. Andrew Percoco just stepped in to cover TSLA, taking over from Adam Jonas who's moved to another position internally.
The move comes with a notable rating adjustment - they're pulling back from Overweight to Equal Weight. Not exactly bearish, but definitely a more cautious stance than before.
What's curious though? Despite the downgrade, they're actually bumping the price target up to $425. That's a $15 increase from the previous $410 mark.
Seems like they still see upside potential, just not as aggressive as their earlier positioning suggested. Classic Wall Street move - downgrade the rating but raise the number. Makes you wonder what changed in their risk assessment versus their price modeling.

Downgrade the rating but raise the price target? This is just Wall Street's trick, moving money from the left hand to the right hand.

Downgrade the rating but raise the price target? Wall Street’s tricks are really something—they just want to keep retail investors confused.
