Citi downgrades Pershing Square to Sell and sets $45 price target

Citi downgraded Pershing Square Holdings (PS) from Neutral to Sell, citing valuation concerns. The bank set a $45 price target for the stock. After the downgrade, the shares fell 2.1% to $53.20 in pre‑market trading. The stock had closed at $54.44 on October 8, 2026, after a 5‑day decline of 7.18% and a year‑to‑date gain of 2.31%.

The downgrade and $45 target suggest a lower valuation outlook, which could pressure the share price further. Citi’s action caused an immediate 2.1% pre‑market drop, indicating market sensitivity to the rating change.
