Catch up on today’s top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Infosys (INFY) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Goldman Sachs with analyst Sumeet Jain saying yesterday’s Q2 results were in-line but at the expense of “unexpectedly” higher investments. 2. Netflix (NFLX) downgraded to Sector Weight from Overweight at KeyBanc with analyst Andy Hargreaves citing quarterly results. While the analyst maintains a favorable view of Netflix’s strategic positioning, he believes improving investment efficiency or significant ancillary opportunities are needed to drive upside from current levels, and he does not anticipate either over the next year. 3. Home Depot (HD), Lowe’s (LOW), KB Home (KBH), and Lennar (LEN) were downgraded to Neutral from Outperform at Credit Suisse. 4. Del Taco (TACO) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at BTIG with analyst Peter Saleh citing the “combination of negative traffic and rising food and labor inflation” weighing on its prospects for the coming year, adding that while he is optimistic on its promotions and delivery potential, he is also worried about customers being discouraged by the company’s higher pricing. 5. Scorpio Bulkers (SALT) downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at JPMorgan with analyst Noah Parquette citing the company’s related party transactions and recent investment in Scorpio Tankers (STNG) for the downgrade.
