Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Mattel (MAT) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at UBS with analyst Arpine Kocharyan citing the stock's recent 35% appreciation with little change in fundamentals. 2. F5 Networks (FFIV) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Citi with analyst Jim Suva saying with the stock up 38% year-to-date, the company's price-to-earnings valuation multiple has increased from 14.8 times at the start of the year to 17.8 times. 3. Dr Pepper Snapple (DPS) downgraded to Hold from Buy at Stifel with analyst Mark Swartzberg saying the more he learns about Keurig Green Mountain, the more he is convinced it has "limited capacity for operating income growth." 4. Red Hat (RHT) downgraded to Market Perform from Outperform at Raymond James with analyst Michael Turits saying shares are at peak valuation and the company is facing a difficult NTM growth outlook. 5. AT&T (T) downgraded to a Neutral after resuming coverage from Overweight at JPMorgan with analyst Philip Cusick saying he believes reversal of the Time Warner acquisition by the Department of Justice is "very unlikely" and would not be surprised to see AT&T shares "rebound fairly quickly after a period of deal-related flowback."

FY25 EPS consensus $2.16.

Reports Q1 revenue $30B, consensus $28.65B. Reports Q1 349,000 postpaid phone net adds. "Our results this quarter reflect continued strong growth in our Mobility and Consumer Wireline connectivity businesses, which represent about 80% of our total revenues," said John Stankey, AT&T CEO. "Customers are choosing AT&T and staying with us. We achieved a record-low first-quarter postpaid phone churn, grew consumer broadband subscribers for the third consecutive quarter, and expanded margins in Mobility and Consumer Wireline. We're also delivering on our commitment to grow and improve the quality and cadence of free cash flow, which increased by more than $2 billion year over year. This consistent, solid performance driven by our investment-led strategy gives us confidence to re-affirm our full-year consolidated financial guidance."

BofA analyst Alexander Perry raised the firm's price target on Mattel to $26 from $25 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company reported Q1 losses that were ahead of the firm's forecast on significant gross margin upside. Following the report, the firm is raising its calendar 2024 EPS forecast to $1.44 from $1.40, which reflects a 2% sales increase in Q2 as Mattel laps channel destocking from last year, a 3% decline in sales in Q3 given tough Barbie comps, and relatively flat Q4 sales given expected share gains and shelf expansion for key brands at retail through holiday.

In an interview on CNBC's Mad Money, Ynon Kreiz said Mattel has a very clear strategy to grow its IP-driven toy business. The priority is "first and foremost" to drive organic growth. He "couldn't be more excited" with Barbie's growth trajectory.
