Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Colgate-Palmolive (CL) downgraded to Hold from Buy at SunTrust with analyst William Chappell citing "another disappointing" quarterly result this morning. 2. Cerner (CERN) downgraded to Sector Perform from Outperform at RBC Capital with analyst George Hill saying the slowing market for health care information technology companies, as well as the company's slower rate of growth, warrant a lower multiple on the stock. 3. Kraton (KRA) downgraded to Hold from Buy at SunTrust with analyst James Sheehan saying the management has cited "weakening demand, tariff impacts, escalating logistics costs and an extended plant outage" in reducing its outlook. 4. Western Digital (WDC) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Longbow, to Neutral from Overweight at JPMorgan, as well as to Hold from Buy at Benchmark and Craig-Hallum. 5. Jack in the Box (JACK) downgraded to Neutral from Outperform at Wedbush with analyst Nick Setyan saying given the company's franchised model and franchisee unrest, he can no longer assume that many of the initiatives through FY22 that his positive recommendation was based on will occur.
