Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) downgraded to Equal Weight from Overweight at Morgan Stanley with analyst Devin McDermott saying U.S. natural gas should soon enter a new cycle of structural oversupply and stagnating demand. 2. Manhattan Associates (MANH) downgraded to Hold from Buy at SunTrust with analyst Terry Tillman saying while there was no change in his view of the company's fundamentals, the risk reward on the stock is much more balanced after it "outperformed significantly" since the last earnings report. 3.

BMO Capital analyst James Fotheringham raised the firm's price target on Synchrony to $41 from $40 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares after its Q1 earings beat. The company's lower-than-previously modeled RSA payments more than offset higher expected credit and operating costs, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

BofA analyst Vivek Arya raised the firm's price target on Lam Research to $1,000 from $970 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares.

DA Davidson upgraded Manhattan Associates to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $240, up from $220. The stock correction this year is overdone, especially following a quarter where the company exceeded expectations and raised guidance, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says the shares now trade below its three-year bottom quartile forward price-to-earnings ratio, "an attractive entry for buyers today." The firm believes Manhattan is a "definitive" return on invested capital leader and "deserves more recognition from the market." Manhattan "generates pre-tax return on invested capital of 135%, a number we had to triple-check and sanity-check with management," writes DA Davidson.
