Morgan Stanley downgraded Frontier Communications (NASDAQ:FYBR) to Underweight from Equalweight and cut its price target to $19.00 from $23.00 based on the company’s premium to telecommunications peers, rising risks to Fiber growth targets due to increasing competition, and recent plans for a slower Fiber expansion potentially delaying positive free cash flow generation.

Shares plunged nearly 9% yesterday and were recently trading more than 2% lower in the premarket.
