Morgan Stanley Lifts Target to HKD 990 as Revenue Milestone Is Surpassed
Morgan Stanley raised its price target for MINIMAX-WP (00100.HK) to HKD 990 from HKD 930, reaffirming its "Overweight" rating on the company. The investment bank's analysis included a bull case target of HKD 1,240 and a bear case of HKD 300, reflecting confidence in the company's growth trajectory.
