TotalEnergies upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley analyst Martijn Rats upgraded TotalEnergies (TTE) to Overweight from Equal Weight with an unchanged price target of $60.80. The firm adjusted ratings in the European energy group, saying the sector's 'fortunes remain closely tied to oil markets.' Morgan Stanley expects oil to enter a 'meaningful surplus' after the summer. As such, it foresees downside risk to earnings and buybacks, upside risk to net debt, and does not find valuations compelling at current share levels. The firm took its industry view back to 'Cautious.' However, TotalEnergies is more integrated along the value chain, which tends to lead to lower earnings volatility during periods of oil price weakness, contends Morgan Stanley. The firm swapped Equinor for TotalEnergies as its second Overweight-rated stock.

Morgan Stanley Issues an Equal Weight Rating For Parker-Hannifin Corporation (PH)
On June 5, Morgan Stanley launched coverage of Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH) with an Equal Weight rating, assigning a price target of $700. This rating is in line with Parker-Hannifin's shift towards a secular business model, scaling its Aero division, and strengthening its position in long-cycle industrial markets by conducting mergers and acquisitions. A technician using advanced radiographic testing equipment to inspect an aircraft. Morgan Stanley analysts observed that this business transformation has led to a higher trading multiple for PH compared to historical metrics, which is demonstrated by its PE ratio of 25.3x and a strong ROE of 27%. Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH)'s string of successful business acquisitions further boosts its present valuation. Nevertheless, the analysts reflected on possible challenges, such as securing mid-single digit growth numbers organically in its industrial segment, which could cancel out the ongoing margin gains forecasted for PH.
