Contrarily, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) has experienced a downgrade to 'Hold' by the same institution, prompted by less optimistic revenue projections in its wealth management sector, even though its price target has been raised to $96.
The market has responded to these adjustments with Citigroup's stock experiencing a modest uptick of 0.2% in premarket trading today. On the other hand, shares of Morgan Stanley have seen a decrease, dropping by 0.7%.
