Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Harley-Davidson (HOG) downgraded to Underperform from Neutral at Longbow, with analyst David MacGregor telling investors that his dealer checks indicate wholesale shipments at the low end of the guidance range. MacGregor expects an increasingly competitive market environment and does not see a positive catalyst for shares over the next 18 months. 2. Autodesk (ADSK) downgraded to Underweight from Neutral at MUFG, as analyst Stephen Bersey said he has "far-less conviction" in his estimates given his and management's limited visibility about the current and future business trends. The analyst keeps a $50 rice target for the shares following the company's Q2 results. 3. Square (SQ) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at BTIG by analyst Mark Palmer, who views the stock as fairly valued following the recent rally. 4. Signet Jewelers (SIG) downgraded to Accumulate from Buy at Johnson Rice, with analyst David Mann citing comps declines at all three its U.S. divisions, which he expects to continue in the second half. The slower comps at Zales are particularly disconcerting, Mann tells investors. 5. Fiesta Restaurant (FRGI) downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at Piper Jaffray, with analyst Nicole Miller Regan citing uncertainty following the unexpected retirement of the company's' long-standing CEO and the board's decision to reevaluate strategic plans.
