Catch up on today’s top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1.

NextEra Energy (NEE) and Xcel Energy (XEL) downgraded to Equal Weight from Overweight at Barclays. 3. Seadrill (SDRL) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at BTIG with analyst Gregory Lewis saying the company emerged from bankruptcy with too much debt, and its options to increase liquidity are costlier today than they were last year owing to increasing concerns about the pace of the recovery of offshore drilling. 4. Occidental downgraded to Underweight from Neutral at JPMorgan with analyst Phil Gresh reinstated coverage of Occidental Petroleum following a period of restriction and downgraded the shares to Underweight from Neutral, saying despite the 33% stock price decline since before the Anadarko deal was announced, Occidental’s total return potential of 15% is roughly half that of the peer group. 5. SPX Flow (FLOW) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Seaport Global with analyst Walt Liptak saying he believes that the company will be impacted by sector slowing in its Food & Beverage and Industrial segments.
