Analyst downgrades: ETFC, SBIB and RIMM


MOST NOTEWORTHY: E-Trade, Sterling Bancshares and Research in Motion and were today's noteworthy downgrades:
  • Bank of America downgraded shares of E-Trade (NASDAQ: ETFC) to Sell from Neutral, as they no longer believe the value of the company's retail brokerage business can offset negative value at the bank.
  • Sterling Bancshares (NASDAQ: SBIB) was downgraded to Neutral from Outperform at Baird on valuation.
  • Morgan Keegan lowered its rating on Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) to Market Perform from Outperform, and believes the 8000 series upgrade cycle will likely slow and that share performance will be impacted by expectations of a slowing economy..
