Analyst downgrades: RHT, COF and NVO


MOST NOTEWORTHY: Red Hat, Capital One and Novo Nordisk were today's noteworthy downgrades:
  • Banc of America downgraded shares of Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) to Neutral from Buy, despite expectations for solid Q3 results, due to a lack of billings catalysts and their belief that JBoss continues to have trouble gaining momentum.
  • Capital One (NYSE: COF) was lowered to Hold from Buy at Jefferies, as they expect limited upside until investors have improved visibility on the extent and timing of credit losses.
  • Merrill downgraded Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) to Neutral from Buy on a lack of near-term catalysts with the company's diabetes and obesity drug-trial data being already presented.
OTHER DOWNGRADES:
  • Goldman removed CME Group (NYSE: CME) from its Conviction Buy List.
  • JP Morgan lowered Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) to Underweight from Neutral.
  • Thomas Weisel downgraded SLM Corp (NYSE: SLM) to Market Weight from Overweight.
