Regency Centers gains after Morgan Stanley names it a new top pick

Morgan Stanley named Regency Centers a new top pick, citing its 'best-in-class grocery-anchored portfolio' and setting an $85 price target, according to Investing.com. This bullish call came despite recent price target cuts from other analysts including Scotiabank, which lowered its target to $76.

Analysis

The Morgan Stanley upgrade provides a clear catalyst for the move, with the $85 price target implying roughly 19% upside from current levels. The real estate sector (XLRE) also rose over 1%, providing a tailwind, though REG outperformed by about 1.1 percentage points—consistent with stock-specific positive news. This follows several flat-to-slightly-negative sessions, suggesting the upgrade sparked renewed buying interest.
