EasyJet shares (LON: EZY) are moving green this morning, trading up 1.42% and continuing the bullish sentiment that has seen the stock price gain 10.90% over the past month. Despite the upward move, a price target adjustment by Morgan Stanley came in to lower, with the price target trimmed from 740 GBp to 685 GBp, while maintaining its “Overweight” rating on the stock.

The new price target reflects a shift in Morgan Stanley's expectations for easyJet's future performance. Despite the target reduction, the “Overweight” rating suggests that Morgan Stanley sees above-average potential for the airline stock compared to the broader market, with shares still trading around 544p. Should the newly minted price target be hit, the potential upside from current price action remains more than 10%.

easyJet PLC, headquartered in Luton, United Kingdom, has established itself as a low-cost airline in Europe since its founding in 1995. The company is involved in providing vacation packages, trading and leasing aircraft, developing construction projects, financing and insurance, and operating as a travel agent.

The company has a market capitalization of £4.1 BN and trades within a 52-week range from a low of 388.4 GBp to a high of 591.07 GBp. Analysts remain broadly positive on the stock, with the outlook indicating there is plenty of room until EasyJet reaches it's current ceiling.

Morgan Stanley's price target adjustment for easyJet highlights confidence in the airline's growth potential, supported by the “Overweight” rating. The stock remains well-positioned to benefit from analyst optimism in the coming quarters, despite the initial trim.
