Shares of Tronox Holdings (TROX) plummeted 5.07% in Monday's trading session, following a significant price target cut by Morgan Stanley. The move highlights growing concerns about the company's near-term prospects in the face of challenging market conditions.
Morgan Stanley, a leading financial services firm, reduced its price target on Tronox from $12 to $8, while maintaining an Equalweight rating on the stock. This substantial 33% reduction in the price target likely triggered a wave of selling pressure, contributing to the sharp decline in Tronox's stock price.
Despite the negative reaction to Morgan Stanley's revised outlook, it's worth noting that the overall analyst sentiment on Tronox remains cautiously optimistic. According to FactSet, the average rating for the stock is still "overweight," with a mean price target of $10.77. This suggests that while near-term headwinds are acknowledged, some analysts see potential for recovery in the longer term. Investors will be closely watching for any further revisions to analyst estimates and ratings in the coming days and weeks.
