Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) downgraded to Sell from Neutral at Goldman Sachs with analyst Jami Rubin saying pressure on key products combined with still-slow MD&D growth and continued strains on the consumer will leave the company with below average, long-term growth. 2. United Continental (UAL) downgraded to Market Perform at Raymond James with analyst Savanthi Syth saying an improvement in relative profitability versus legacy peers is likely to take longer than previously expected. 3. Ingersoll-Rand (IR) downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at JPMorgan with analyst C. Stephen Tusa saying he sees more relative upside and better risk/rewards elsewhere in the Electrical Equipment and Multi Industry sector. The analyst expects the company's solid execution to continue and raised his price target for the shares to $98 from $96. 4. L Brands (LB) downgraded to Market Perform from Outperform at Cowen with analyst Oliver Chen saying he sees risk to its comparable sales growth and margins if the company can not achieve elevated pricing. 5.
