In a report published Thursday, Morgan Stanley analyst Simeon Gutman reiterated an Overweight rating on Wal-Mart Stores WMT, but removed the $87.00 price target.
In the report, Morgan Stanley noted, “Relative to market expectations, a key takeaway from yesterday's meeting with WMT management is that gross margin pressure should be no worse than Q1. Though the top-line backdrop has not improved (it has not gotten worse either), steady gross margins and ongoing expense control should enable the achievement of near term estimates.”
Wal-Mart Stores closed on Wednesday at $75.62.
