Morgan Stanley keeps USD 11.00 target for RPC stock

On October 16, 2026, Morgan Stanley maintained a Hold rating on Ridgepost Capital and a USD 11.00 price target, which is 33.01 percent above the USD 8.27 closing price. Markets Insider reported that Michael Cyprys issued the rating and target. RPC closed at USD 8.27 on the NYSE on October 16, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 0.61 percent versus the prior close.

Assets exceed USD 50.0 billion

Ridgepost Capital's scale remains a central valuation reference. As of June 30, 2026, the company had more than USD 50.0 billion in assets under management across private equity, private credit and venture capital, according to the Ridgepost Capital investor-relations overview. The business therefore combines a modest public market value with a much larger asset base, although the two measures are not directly comparable.

Stock position and trading activity

The closing price stood 27.90 percent below the USD 11.47 52-week high and 21.80 percent above the USD 6.79 low on October 16, 2026. The stock was down 15.70 percent year to date, while volume reached 521,645 shares against an average of 558,004 shares.

The latest market frame also includes the scheduled reporting date. StockTitan reported on October 14, 2026 that Ridgepost Capital will release third-quarter 2026 results before the NYSE opens on November 4, 2026 and will hold its investor call at 8:00 a.m. ET.

Valuation and dividend data

Ridgepost Capital's market capitalization was USD 653.2 million on October 16, 2026, with a P/E ratio of 34.12 and a dividend yield of 0.02 percent. The analyst target of USD 11.00 sits 33.01 percent above the closing price, giving the October 16 rating a measurable distance from the market level rather than a purely verbal signal.
