On Wednesday, Morgan Stanley adjusted its stance on Rockwoil, upgrading the stock from Underweight to Equalweight.

The firm also increased the price target to DKK2,600.00 from the previous DKK1,809.00. This revision reflects a shift in perspective regarding the company's pricing strategy and market performance.

The upgrade comes after a reassessment of Rockwool's pricing discipline, which has proven to be more robust than initially expected.

The analyst noted that even though the market has seen volumes at their lowest levels, Rockwool has maintained a strong pricing strategy. This has led to a greater-than-anticipated pricing discipline, prompting Morgan Stanley to revise their rating.

Despite the upgrade, the analyst pointed out that Rockwoil's free cash flow (FCF) generation and product offerings are still not as appealing when compared to its industry peers.

These factors are taken into account within the new Equalweight rating, indicating a neutral outlook on the stock's current valuation and future prospects.

The revised price target of DKK2,600.00 represents a significant increase from the previous target. This adjustment suggests that Morgan Stanley sees a higher potential value for the stock than before, albeit with certain reservations regarding its overall attractiveness in comparison to other companies in the sector.

It's important to note that the updated assessment by Morgan Stanley does not imply any recommendations or future predictions for Rockwool's performance.

The information provided is solely based on the analyst's current evaluation of the company's stock and industry position as of Wednesday.
