Brokers say buy these 4 ASX All Ords shares
Morgan Stanley raises share price target on ASX 200 bank share
As reported in The Australian, Morgan Stanley has raised its 12-month share price target on ASX 200 bank share Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG).
The new target price is $250 per share, up from $234 per share.
Macquarie shares are trading at $232.95, up 2.12% on Thursday. Therefore, the new share price target implies a potential 7.3% upside for investors who buy Macquarie today.
The broker maintains an overweight rating on the bank stock.
Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Stadnik explained:
We think Macquarie offers multi-year double digit earnings growth, justifying the recent re-rating.
The faster Fed cut gives us more confidence in global M&A recovery and we think the street is missing Macquarie's operating leverage plus new growth options.
The US Federal Reserve cut official interest rates by 50 basis points last week. This was a larger-than-expected cut and the first one since early 2020. The ASX All Ords rose by 0.63% on the day of the news.
