MOST NOTEWORTHY: Level 3 Communications, BT Group and Limited Brands were today's noteworthy downgrades:
- Merriman downgraded shares of Level 3 Communications Inc (NASDAQ: LVLT) to Neutral from Buy, as they believe the risks outweigh the rewards until the company can complete its integration and turn FCF positive.
- BT Group Plc (NYSE: BT) was downgraded to Equal Weight from Overweight at Lehman to reflect the company's slowing revenue growth.
- Bear downgraded Limited Brands Inc (NYSE: LTD) to Peer Perform from Outperform, citing the unfavorable macro backdrop, execution issues and management turnover.
