Kellogg CompanyK
from Equal-Weight to Underweight, and lowered the price target from $59.00 to $58.00. In the report, Morgan Stanley noted, “We downgrade K to UW with a $58 PT, given likely sustained sales weakness, below-expectation early returns on Project K reinvestment, limited margin expansion. Our reduced 2015/16 EPS are 2-3% below consensus, and we see valuation at/above peers on a pension expense-normalized basis.” Kellogg Company closed on Monday at $61.81.
