In a report published Monday, J.P. Morgan & Co. downgraded its rating on Ashland ASH from Overweight to Neutral, and reiterated its $76.00 price target.
J.P. Morgan noted, “We rate ASH shares Neutral. Ashland currently trades at 6.3x EV/EBITDA for 2013. Our December 2013 price target of $76 reflects a 6.5x multiple of 2013 EV/EBITDA. We note that all analysts who write research on Ashland recommend its shares, which may indicate that its good business prospects are well-reflected in the current stock price and that room remains for negative price volatility were Ashland's earnings to disappoint expectations.”
Ashland closed on Friday at $73.00.
