BUZZ-Morningstar, Jefferies hike PTs for Australia's Seek but see headwinds

** Morningstar raises its fair value estimate for employment services provider Seek Ltd SEK.AX by 2% to A$21.50 per share

** The investment research firm sees "long runway of decent growth across the business"

** However, Morningstar believes co is "overearning", driven by the booming job market from the pandemic-era fiscal, monetary stimulus; expects normalization of the jobs market

** Jefferies also hikes its PT to A$24.60 from A$21.70, driven by its 4.6% and 6.3% increase in FY25 and FY26 earnings-per-share forecasts; rated 'hold' on shares

** Brokerage upgrades forecasts on better yields and margins

** Sees headwinds for co in Asia with the launch of its "freemium" offering in developed Asian countries, which contribute nearly 70% of Asia revenue; says there is risk of revenue spindown

** 10 of 13 analysts rate the stock "buy" or higher, 3 "hold"; their median PT is A$27.10, according to LSEG-compiled data

** YTD, SEK up 4.4%, last closed at A$23.56
