NAB Gets New Bear as Economic Threats Grow -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-25 08:44

0044 GMT - National Australia Bank gets a new bear at Morgan Stanley, where it is seen as the local lender with most to lose from a broader economic slowdown. Lowering his recommendation to underweight from equal-weight, analyst Richard E. Wiles tells clients in a note that the probability of both earnings downgrades and trading multiple de-ratings across the sector is rising. The investment bank's macro team sees tightening fiscal policy and a global energy shock as threats to economic growth. Wiles says that NAB's larger exposure to small- and medium-sized enterprises makes it the most vulnerable. Target price falls 8.5% to A$39.80. Shares are up 1.6% at A$43.45. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
