Overweight -> Equal Weight
Reason
Morgan Stanley downgraded Coursera (COUR) to Equal Weight from Overweight with a price target of $11, up from $10. Coursera now trades at a premium valuation versus Udemy (UDMY), the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm lacks confidence the valuation gap will meaningfully increase, leading it to move both stocks to Equal Weight. Morgan Stanley prefers Coursera in education software, but sees more attractive risk/reward elsewhere in its coverage.
