On August 15, Morgan Stanley downgraded Circle (CRCL) stock from 'Hold' to 'Underweight' on August 3, significantly lowering the target price from $106 to $38. Analysts stated that the downgrade was primarily due to the contraction in USDC circulation, which exposed Circle's high sensitivity to reserve income. Meanwhile, the company's business structure is shifting towards a revenue model with lower profit margins. The report also reduced the forecasts for Circle's USDC scale in 2027 and 2028 by approximately 33% and 44%, respectively, and projected that the company's GAAP earnings per share would be about 3% and 20% lower than market consensus. However, Morgan Stanley's latest 13F filing shows that as of June 30, its holdings in Circle shares surged from approximately 1.46 million shares to 8.32 million shares, indicating a significant increase in the second quarter. This suggests that while Morgan Stanley publicly downgraded Circle's rating and target price in early August, signaling a cautious outlook, its disclosed holdings as of the end of the second quarter show a notable increase. It is important to note that the 13F filing reflects holdings as of June 30 and does not indicate whether positions were adjusted before or after the August downgrade. The market is focused on the apparent contrast between institutional research views and historical holdings disclosures.
