REV Group's latest price target update trims fair value from about $62.80 to $60.20 per share, as analysts factor in a slightly higher discount rate of roughly 8.35% to 8.37% and a marginal easing in long term revenue growth expectations from around 6.33% to 6.32%. These adjustments reflect a more balanced view of the risk reward profile as the Terex transaction advances, while integration risks, deal timing, and synergy delivery are weighed against improving outer year earnings power. Stay tuned to see how you can track these shifting assumptions and the evolving narrative around the stock in the months ahead.

???? Bullish Takeaways

Morgan Stanley highlighted improved fundamentals after REV Group's fiscal Q3 report, lifting its FY25 EPS forecast to $2.58 from $2.28, which supported a higher price target of $64 from $46 and underscored confidence in execution and earnings power.

The firm sees "good strategic value" in the planned merger with Terex, suggesting that a successful integration could enhance the growth profile and long term valuation of the combined aerials business.

???? Bearish Takeaways

Morgan Stanley later cut its price target to $55 from $64 while maintaining an Equal Weight rating, signaling that some upside may already be priced in relative to perceived risks.

The firm cautions that the timing, structure and overall value of the Terex deal introduce elevated risk, with potential dilution and uncertainty around the underlying value of the combined aerials business seen as overhangs for near term share performance and valuation support.
