JP Morgan downgraded Palm, Inc (NASDAQ: PALM) to Underweight from Neutral citing product line, execution and competition concerns.

New Century Financial Corp (NYSE: NEW) was downgraded to Underperform from Hold at Jefferies and suspended their estimates as they believe the 10-K filing delay indicates that the company's financial and operating situation continues to deteriorate.

Matrix USA cut Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) to Sell from Hold, providing an intrinsic value of $25. They believe strong competition, as well as rising popularity and accessibility of free social and entertainment content, is negatively impacting the company.

OTHER DOWNGRADES:

JP Morgan downgraded shares of The Scotts Miracle-Gro Co (NYSE: SMG) to Neutral from Overweight based on SMG's lower fundamental visibility with recent increases in raw materials and the company's underperformance during its peak-season.

JP Morgan also downgraded Marvell Technology Group Ltd (NASDAQ: MRVL) to reflect dilution concerns from the XScale acquisition, slow end-market growth and stock option uncertainty.

Jefferies downgraded Humana Inc (NYSE: HUM) to Hold from Buy with a $60 target after checks confirmed concerns that recent budgetary analysis in Washington has heightened the risk for legislation to curb Medicare Advantage program growth.
