Ford (F) downgraded to Reduce from Neutral at Nomura Instinet with analyst Anindya Das saying Ford's higher share of the U.K. auto market compared to the rest of Europe makes it more susceptible to Brexit risks. 4. Constellation Brands (STZ) downgraded to Hold from Buy at Deutsche Bank. 5. International Paper (IP) downgraded to Sector Perform from Outperform at RBC Capital with analyst Paul Quinn saying while International Paper is a "great company," investors have increased scrutiny on the containerboard market due to the "softening demand and fears of incremental capacity coming online" as year-to-date shipment growth slowed to 0.8% from 1.5% in 2018.
