Analyst Assumes Coverage of ProFrac Holding (ACDC) with 'Underweight' Rating

ProFrac Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:ACDC) is a technology-focused energy services company operating in the United States.

ProFrac Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:ACDC) slid on December 15 when Morgan Stanley assumed coverage of the stock with an ‘Underweight’ rating and a price target of $3.5, indicating a downside potential of over 7% from the current share price. The analyst noted that while energy services stocks have rebounded from their lows after having a tough 2025, it is still ‘too early to step in’ since the firm expects shorter-cycle North American onshore spending to remain tight due to the uncertain oil backdrop.

It is worth noting that global crude prices fell to their lowest levels since February 2021 last week, driven by recent weak employment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and concerns about oversupply. While the oil price has since witnessed a slight rebound, the prospects of a potential peace deal in the Russia-Ukraine war continue to weigh on it.
