MOST NOTEWORTHY: Occam Networks, Washington Mutual, Downey Financial and IMS Health were today's noteworthy downgrades:
- Merriman downgraded shares of Occam Networks (NASDAQ: OCNW) to Neutral from Buy as they believe the company's restatement filing raised more questions than it answered and that the company's takeout value is shrinking.
- Friedman Billings downgraded Washington Mutual (NYSE: WM) and Downey Financial Corporation (NYSE: DSL) to Underperform from Market Perform based on credit trends that are eroding faster than anticipated in the housing market.
- William Blair downgraded IMS Health (NYSE: RX) to Market Perform from Outperform following the lower than expected Q3 results to reflect deterioration in the company's market environment. Shares were also downgraded to Sell from Neutral at Goldman Sachs.
