RESEARCH ALERT-Morgan Stanley downgrades Phelps Dodge
NEW YORK, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley said on Monday it had cut its investment rating on copper producer Phelps Dodge Corp. (NYSE:PD - news) to ``underperform'' from ``neutral'' with a $28 price target due to excess capacity in copper inventories and a sharp rise in the company's share price.

``Copper inventories are up sharply this year, to the highest level in 15 years,'' wrote analyst R. Wayne Atwell in a note to clients.

Phelps shares, which have gained 28 percent in four weeks, ''overcompensates'' for a rise in copper prices in recent weeks, Atwell said.

Phelps shares ended Friday at $35.83 on the New York Stock Exchange. Their 52-week trading range is $25.91 to $57.
