Morgan Stanley analyst Manan Gosalia downgraded SVB Financial (SIVB) to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $186, down from $253, as he initiated coverage of 12 midcap banks and took over coverage of several others. Gosalia prefers to be positioned in names that are best-equipped to manage the headwinds from tightening liquidity conditions as rates rise, and has Underweight ratings on three – Silvergate (SI), First Republic (FRC) and SVB Financial – that he sees having the most funding pressure due to idiosyncratic factors, the analyst tells investors.
