On December 15, Morgan Stanley assumed coverage of ProFrac Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:ACDC) with an ‘Underweight’ rating and a price target of $3.50, indicating a potential downside of over 11% from the current share price. According to the analyst, oil and gas services stocks have rallied from their lows after a difficult 2025, pushing valuations higher.
