KeyBanc analyst Ken Newman raised the price target on MSC Industrial (NYSE: MSM) to $129.00 (from $117.00) while maintaining a Overweight rating.

The analyst commented: "Following our meetings with MSM, we walked away with increased confidence in the Company’s internal cost-out initiatives and improving end-market demand.

We think this could total ~$50M in run rate savings over the next three years. The Company also noted a shift in focus for the salesforce to recapture share with its core customers, which

KeyBanc Upgrades MSC Industrial (MSM) to Overweight

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:58:31 -0400

KeyBanc analyst Ken Newman upgraded MSC Industrial (NYSE: MSM) from Sector Weight to Overweight with a price target of $117.00.

The analyst comments: "We hosted investor meetings with MSM’s new CEO Martina McIsaac and are upgrading the shares to OW, from SW, with $117 PT. We think MSM has a solid line of sight toward generating stronger operating leverage driven by improving cycle volumes and further cost-out benefits. To that latter point, mgmt. noted expectations for an incremental ~1,000 reduction in headcount for back-office and warehouse-related positions, which we estimate could total ~$50M in run rate savings through FY28. Assuming a

MSC Industrial (MSM) PT Raised to $90 at Jefferies

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 15:10:35 -0400

Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann raised the price target on MSC Industrial (NYSE: MSM) to $90.00 (from $85.00) while maintaining a Hold rating.

The analyst commented, "While pricing was up +650bps in F2Q, ADS of just 2.9% indicates a volume decline through the start of the year. Encouragingly, while end markets have still yet to inflect, customer demand does seem to indicate a slow industrial recovery to come. Core customer growth was offset by nat'l accts headwinds due to sales force optimization (now complete). We remain on the sidelines as we await meaningful outgrowth and leverage as volumes more fully recover."

William Blair on MSC Industrial (MSM): cautious stance, MSM remains a 'show me' story

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 12:46:11 -0400

William Blair analyst Ryan Merkel reiterated a Market Perform rating on MSC Industrial (NYSE: MSM)

The analyst commented, " Shares are trading down on a mixed second quarter but third quarter guided above. Sales optimization impacts drove a disappointing second-quarter ADS result with volumes decelerating and have led to a slower March. While we understand investor trepidation about the overhang and duration of these impacts, we believe the changes were necessary and should drive a better sales organization long term. Management sounded confident that impacts will be short-lived, but we are taking a cautious approach to April and May acceleration (especially
