Bill downgraded to Equal Weight from Overweight at Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley analyst Chris Quintero downgraded Bill (BILL) to Equal Weight from Overweight with a price target of $55, down from $60. Many of the firm's prior bullish thesis assumptions, including small business spending improvement and take rate expansion, are not playing out, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm further cites an increasingly uncertain macro environment and believes that FY26 estimates are looking too high given the lack of positive catalysts.

Morgan Stanley says the new 'bull case' for stocks is emerging
-- Morgan Stanley analysts said in a note Thursday that they believe a "new 'bull case' is emerging" for stock markets. It follows a rebound driven by a "near complete reversal on 'reciprocal tariffs' and a successful de-escalation of trade tensions with China within the last 30 days." The bank says the recovery has allowed risk markets to fully regain ground from their post-"Liberation Day" drawdown, with year-to-date returns now in the "green." Morgan Stanley notes that the S&P 500 stands at approximately 6,000, roughly 2.3% off its February 19 all-time highs, while the NASDAQ has "surged more than 25% from its lows." Market volatility, as measured by the VIX, "has sharply decreased, with readings now below its five-year average," wrote the bank. According to Morgan Stanley, this emerging "bull case" is premised on several key beliefs. First, the "belief that tariffs are a non-event, manageable unknown," and secondly, the "belief that 2025 earnings don't matter," with "earnings revisions for 2026 turning less negative," and a weak U.S. dollar seen as a positive. Furthermore, there is the "belief that inflation risks are over-estimated; low oil prices a tailwind; Fed will commence rate cutting soon," the "belief in front end loaded corporate tax cuts" driving a "capex and productivity boom," and the conviction that "Gen AI is in the very early innings." Morgan Stanley notes that "2026 S&P 500 earnings are expected to show accelerating growth from 2025's 7-8% to 13-14%." However, they also caution that the recovery of equity valuations has pushed the price-to-forward earnings ratio above "21.5x," and the "equity risk premium sits at a paltry 6bps." Risks are said to include steepening "Global yield curves" and widening U.S. budget deficits, which Morgan Stanley views as a potential "headwind to American Exceptionalism."
