Blue Apron downgraded after customer losses though a strategic shift is well-received
Blue Apron Holdings Inc. was downgraded to hold from buy at Canaccord Genuity following a third-quarter revenue miss and reporting fewer customers. Canaccord cut its price target to $3 from $6. Blue Apron said it had 856,000 customers, down from 646,000 last year. The company is also cutting its workforce by 4% as it shifts strategy to "deepen engagement" with the 30% of Blue Apron customers who are responsible for more than 80% of the company's revenue. "Despite the several positives, given the guidance for continued revenue declines next year, we feel a hold rating is more appropriate for now," wrote Canaccord in a note. Blue Apron shares have plummeted more than 71% for the year to date while the S&P 500 index is up 1.2% for the period.

PG&E stock downgraded to neutral by Morgan Stanley
Analysts at Morgan Stanley on Thursday downgraded PG&E Corp. stock to their equivalent of neutral and slashed their price target on the shares, citing "major investment uncertainties" about the company, including questions around liquidity and "persistent" fire risk. The analysts, led by Stephen Byrd, cut their price target to $31 from $67. PG&E has confirmed an outage in the area of Butte County, Calif., where the so-called Camp Fire is understood to have started. The fire is 40% contained as of Thursday, and the death toll has risen to 56, with about 100 people missing. "We think the frequency and extent of severely damaging fires, as well as the financial market's loss of confidence in the (California) utility stocks, highlights the urgent need for new legislation to better protect utilities from the risk of financial distress and utility shareholders from potentially unlimited fire liabilities," the Morgan Stanley analysts said. "However there is no clear path to new legislation in the near-term." PG&E shares fell 23% Thursday, bringing weekly losses to 51%. The stock has lost 56% this year, contrasting with gains of 1.1% for the S&P 500 index in the same period.
