what happened

Analysts at BMO Capital reduced their price target for American Electric Power shares to $135 from $139. Dow Jones Newswires reported the change, citing Benzinga's list of analyst ratings for the stock.

The original item contains only a link to the ratings page, so no further details, such as the reasoning behind the decision, are available.

why it matters

A single bank changing its price target usually affects only one stock and rarely moves the utilities sector as a whole. For American Electric Power investors it signals a more cautious view from one analyst, but without the reasons it should be treated as a minor, company-specific item.
