LORDSTOWN MOTORS CUT AT MORGAN STANLEY: Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas downgraded Lordstown Motors ($RIDE) to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $2, down from $8. The company's agreement to sell its plant to Foxconn ($HNHPF) for $230M is less than 20% of his plant value estimate, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Jonas adds that at the current price of over $6 per share, the market is discounting a successful consummation of the Foxconn deal, a modestly successful Endurance program yielding positive free cash flows, and at least 50,000 units of volume on a new platform with Foxconn at approximately $50,000 ATP by 2030.ALBERTSONS DOWNGRADED AT BMO: BMO Capital analyst Kelly Bania downgraded Albertsons ($ACI) to Underperform from Market Perform with a price target of $26, up from $22. The analyst sees risk to the company's margin outlook given its "significantly greater" margin expansion relative to key grocery peers. Albertsons's margins are at risk in a more price-sensitive consumer environment and on the wage front as unionized grocers have been shielded from broader industry wage rate increases given contract negotiation cycles, Bania tells investors in a research note. This could suggest a "wave of wage investments" in 2022 and 2023, contends the analyst. 'COMPELLING OPPORTUNITY': JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth reiterates an Overweight rating on Amazon.com ($AMZN) with a $4,100 price target. The analyst recognizes the near-term concerns around tough compares and supply chain disruption, but believes there is still a "significant secular shift" toward e-commerce ahead. Amazon has a "very strong track record around investing into future growth opportunities," Anmuth tells investors in a research note. He believes the concerns and recent share price "dislocation creates a compelling opportunity over time." Anmuth notes that Amazon shares now trade at less than 15 times his below-consensus 2023 EBITDA estimate.CHIPOTLE PRICE TARGET RAISE: Stephens analyst James Rutherford raised the firm's price target on Chipotle ($CMG) to $2,000 from $1,850 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares ahead of the company's upcoming Q3 report. He is still modeling 13.5% comp growth and 22.9% on a two-year basis. Rutherford sees the next catalysts for Chipotle including a lessening of labor issues, an easing of commodity price pressures, and menu innovations like brisket, he noted.FLUX INITIATED: H.C. Wainwright analyst Amit Dayal initiated coverage of Flux Power ($FLUX) with a Buy rating and $15 price target. The company's LiFT battery packs are currently targeting Class 1, 2, and 3 lift trucks, and airport ground support equipment, Dayal tells investors in a research note. Flux Power has sold over 8,000 packs in the field to customers through multiple sales channels, says the analyst, who projects its revenues to further grow by 46.8% in fiscal 2022.Disclosure: I may trade in the ticker symbols mentioned, both long or short.
