Broker snap: Halfords rally unjustified, HSBC says

Date: Thursday 14 Aug 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - HSBC has downgraded its rating on the bicycle and car parts retailer Halfords to ‘underweight’ from ‘neutral’ following a recent rally in the stock’s value.

Shares in Halfords have risen by 38% since early July, but there is little in the UK retail outlook to justify this, HSBC said.

It keeps its 285p target price on the company.
