MOST NOTEWORTHY: Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO), Continental (CAL) and Caterpillar inc (CAT) complete the list of notable downgrades:

  • CheckPoint Software Tech (NASDAQ: CHKP) was downgraded to Underperform from Market Perform with a $19 target at Freedman Billings, with expectations that 2007 will be a difficult transition year.
  • Matrix USA downgraded shares of Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD) to Hold from Buy on valuation.
  • Goldman Sachs downgraded TRW Automotive Hldg (NYSE: TRW) to Sell from Neutral and was added to the America's Sell List; they believe rising costs, a less favorable product mix and commercial steering business headwinds will weigh on revenue growth and margins in 2007.
