MOST NOTEWORTHY: First Financial, TriZetto and General Electric were today's noteworthy downgrades:
  • Keefe Bruyette downgraded shares of First Financial (NASDAQ: FFBC) to Underperform from Market Perform on valuation, as they believe the stock trades at a premium to the group despite limited upside to normalized earnings and near term revenue headwinds.
  • TriZetto (NASDAQ:TZIX) was cut at Jefferies to Hold from Buy based on Friday's go-private announcement, as they view the $22 deal price as fair.
  • General Electric (NYSE: GE) was downgraded to Peer Perform from Outperform at Bear Stearns and to Perform from Outperform at Oppenheimer following the company's earnings miss and reduced guidance.
OTHER DOWNGRADES:
  • Deustche Bank downgraded SPX Corp (NYSE: SPW) to Hold from Buy.
  • Morgan Stanley cut British Airways (OTC:BAIRY) to Underweight from Equal Weight.
  • Cymer (NASDAQ: CYMI) was lowered at Credit Suisse to Underperform from Neutral.
