Workhorse (WKHS, $23.02) shares downgraded by Roth Capital analyst

Workhorse (WKHS, $23.02) shares downgraded by Roth Capital analyst

Roth Capital analyst Craig Irwin downgraded shares of electric truck maker Workhorse Group  to neutral from buy.

A a U.S. Postal Service spokesperson told Roth the USPS won’t decide who wins the competition for its next generation of delivery trucks until year-end.

Irwin also slashed his share-price target on the shares to $27 from $33. Analysts’ average price target is $23, according to Bloomberg.

Last week Irwin expected the USPS would make its selection for the $8 billion contract Tuesday.  But now that USPS is seemingly “punting” on the contract, that substantially increases uncertainty for Workhorse, according to Irwin.
