Morgan Stanley lowered its target for New York Times stock to USD 75.00 from USD 90.00 on October 11, 2026, while keeping an Equal Weight rating, according to Markets Insider. The target was 8.35 percent above the USD 69.22 NYSE price at 2:47 p.m. ET on October 15, 2026. At Lang & Schwarz, the stock stood at EUR 61.84 at 8:41 p.m. CEST.
Target reset and valuation
Morgan Stanley cited New York Times investments in video as a potential source of engagement and monetization, but said near-term investment could moderate earnings growth. The revised USD 75.00 target places the analyst view above the same-day US quote, while the downgrade from USD 90.00 reduces the target by 16.67 percent.
The company therefore enters the next reporting cycle with an analyst view that balances longer-term product expansion against near-term spending. The rating remained Equal Weight in the October 11 note, so the target change did not come with a rating change.

New York Times reported USD 762.46 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, up 11.2 percent from the year-ago quarter, according to MarketBeat.
