Catch up on today’s top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. PPG (PPG) downgraded to Underweight from Neutral at JPMorgan with analyst Jeffrey Zekauskas saying PPG shares have been drifting higher in 2019 as the market continues to prefer higher quality and less cyclical materials companies, however general economic business conditions are “arguably weaker than they have been because of decreased rates of economic growth in China and in Europe.” 2. Sherwin-Williams (SHW) downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at JPMorgan with analyst Jeffrey Zekauskas citing valuation. 3. Booking Holdings (BKNG) downgraded to Neutral from Outperform at Wedbush with analyst James Hardiman stating that he believes the company’s dominant position in Europe will be favorable in the long term, but is likely to represent a liability in 2019 as it is could amplify risks of earnings revisions and multiple compression. 4. Biogen (BIIB) downgraded to Underweight from Overweight at Morgan Stanley with analyst Matthew Harrison citing the failure of two Alzheimer’s disease trials and noting that his optimism on Alzheimer’s was “completely wrong.” 5. Lululemon (LULU) downgraded to Neutral from Outperform at Wedbush with analyst Jen Redding saying that while she continues to see lululemon as best in class among specialty retailers, she is moving to the sidelines in anticipation of potentially less margin upside ahead, based on insights from proprietary data products.
