Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette lowered the firm’s price target on Upstart (UPST) to $45 from $70 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. For a name like Upstart with “little downside valuation protection support,” clean quarters are required, argues the analyst, who contends that the company needs to demonstrate that both its model and forecasting can sufficiently adapt to volatility. Following earnings, the firm lowered its 2026 and 2027 originations forecast by about 11%, with the impact largely flowing through to adjusted diluted EPS.
