Pilbara Minerals ( (AU:PLS) ) has shared an update.

Morgan Stanley and certain subsidiaries have ceased to be substantial holders in PLS Group Limited, notifying the company that their relevant interest fell below the substantial holding threshold as of 20 February 2026. The change follows a series of on-market purchases in ordinary shares by Morgan Stanley Australia Securities and Morgan Stanley & Co. International, indicating active trading and repositioning rather than a straightforward divestment, and potentially signaling shifts in institutional ownership dynamics for PLS shareholders.

While the detailed transactions span numerous small and large buy orders, the net outcome is that Morgan Stanley’s aggregated holding no longer qualifies as substantial under Australian disclosure rules. This adjustment in a major institutional investor’s status may affect market perceptions of liquidity and support in PLS stock, even as trading activity by Morgan Stanley entities in the name continues.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:PLS) stock is a Hold with a A$4.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Pilbara Minerals stock, see the AU:PLS Stock Forecast page.
