what happened

Morgan Stanley raised its price target on Ameren to $109.00 per share from $108.00 and kept its Equal-Weight rating, according to a Dow Jones Newswires report that cites Benzinga ratings data.

The bank also lifted its target for Atmos Energy to $182.00 from $179.00, with its Equal-Weight rating unchanged. Both updates concern U.S. utilities and were published about 19 minutes apart on October 21, 2026.

why it matters

Price target changes of this kind reflect an analyst's valuation view and leave the rating unchanged, so their effect on the wider market tends to be limited. For utility stocks, the bigger drivers are usually interest-rate expectations and regulatory decisions.
