Brambles Loses Bulls on Near-Term Uncertainty -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
May 21

0038 GMT - Brambles loses its bulls at Morgan Stanley on near-term uncertainty generated by the unexpected constraints at the pallet supplier's U.S. service centers. Lowering their recommendation on the stock to equal-weight from overweight, MS analysts tell clients that they still like Brambles' long-term structural growth story and market position. However, they see worries over costs, capital expenditure and pricing recovery limiting the potential for the stock to re-rate. They think that operational conditions need to stabilize and they will wait for August's annual result announcement in the hope of some clarity. MS cuts its target price 32% to A$19.00. Shares are up 1.4% at A$16.63. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
