Buy -> Hold

Reason

Jefferies downgraded Matson to Hold from Buy with a price target of $115, down from $135. Freight rates and volumes have softened further in July, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm expects Matson to report Q2 results better than expectations but says the company's outlook for Q3 "looks to be softer." Jefferies reduced estimates and downgrade Matson ahead of the earnings print.

Buy

Reason

Stephens raised the firm's price target on Matson to $175 from $165 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares after the company reported "strong" Q4 results and said it expects that even with the Red Sea situation normalizing by mid-2025, ocean operating income would only be "moderately lower" year-over-year. The firm thinks the setup remains favorable as it expects a secular shift from the airfreight market will continue, the analyst tells investors.

Reason

Stifel raised the firm's price target on Matson to $160 from $150 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. Matson reported earnings that were "remarkably strong," driven by higher margins, the analyst tells investors. However, while Matson's China rates are gradually decoupling from broader market rates, the firm expects both international and rates on Matson's China business would decline should containerships normalize movements through the Red Sea, the analyst added.
