Morgan Stanley downgraded its recommendation on Covestro (1COV.DE) shares due to uncertainty over the market rebound. The rating was downgraded to "equal-weight" from its previous "overweight" rating. The stock, despite the downgraded recommendation, is currently gaining nearly 1%.
Much better behaved today are HelloFresh (HFG.DE) shares, which are gaining nearly 3.5% against JP Morgan's upgraded rating. The rating was raised from "underwight" to "overweight." As the bank's analysts added, space for declines is limited at the moment, and the company's valuation is relatively attractive. The target price was raised to 27 euros from an earlier one of 18 euros.
