In the report, Morgan Stanley noted, “While HRB has traded off over the past few months on concerns ACA will be delayed or de-funded, we have warmed up to the stock, especially after HRB partnered w/ GoHealth. We've adjusted our ests to reflect our latest thinking on ACA / buybacks, resulting in F15 EPS of $2.20, 15x multiple, $33 PT.”
