Ford upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas upgraded Ford Motor to Overweight from Equal Weight and raised his price target for the shares to $12 from $10. The stock closed Monday down 5c to $9.23. Ford’s partnerships and “more focused” model lineup should keep its profitability “largely stable” through 2022, Jones tells investors in a research note. The analyst previously predicted Ford’s earnings would decline 40% during that timeframe. He upgraded Ford shares after making a “substantial” boost to his mid-term earnings estimates.
