Udemy upgraded to Equal Weight from Underweight at Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley analyst Josh Baer upgraded Udemy (UDMY) to Equal Weight from Underweight with a price target of $9, up from $7. Coursera (COUR) now trades at a premium valuation versus Udemy, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm lacks confidence the valuation gap will meaningfully increase, leading it to move both stocks to Equal Weight. Morgan Stanley prefers Coursera in education software, but sees more attractive risk/reward elsewhere in its coverage.
