Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Mallinckrodt (MNK) downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at Piper Jaffray with analyst David Amsellem stating last week's developments regarding Acthar in the Medicaid setting, along with as much as a $600M Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services-related liability, "essentially blew" his prior investment thesis to "smithereens." 2. Nucor (NUE) downgraded to Underperform from Buy at BofA/Merrill with analyst Timna Tanners incorporating a lower near-term forecast for prices, especially for sheet and rebar, and a lower 2021-2022 forecast given expectations for a looming glut in steel. 3. J.Jill (JILL) downgraded to Hold from Buy at Deutsche Bank with analyst Lorraine Hutchinson stating that she expects the stock's multiple to contract due to the company's slower growth. 4. Nutanix (NTNX) downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at Piper Jaffray with analyst Andrew Nowinski citing the company's "continued execution issues," which he attributes partially to increasing competition. 5. Zuora (ZUO) downgraded to Buy from Strong Buy at Needham with analyst Scott Berg saying that the stock could be "dead money" for the next 1-2 quarters, noting that the sales issues are more concerning than the product issues and may require a change in sales leadership.

BMO Capital lowered the firm's price target on Nucor to $200 from $210 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares after its Q1 earnings miss. Following nine consecutive quarters of beating expectations, Nucor's results and outlook disappointed, while its Q2 results are also expected to moderate sequentially, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Nucor remains well-positioned to benefit from positive longer-term demand tailwinds, but its capex spending elevated, BMO adds.

"We expect earnings in the second quarter of 2024 to decrease compared to the first quarter of 2024. The largest driver for the expected decrease in earnings in the second quarter of 2024 is the decreased earnings of the steel mills segment, primarily due to lower average selling prices partially offset by modestly increased volumes. The steel products segment is expected to have moderately decreased earnings in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024 due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by increased volumes. Earnings in the raw materials segment are expected to be higher in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024 due to the increased profitability of our direct reduced iron facilities and scrap processing operations."

Pre-earnings options volume in Nucor is 4.3x normal with puts leading calls 19:5. Implied volatility suggests the market is anticipating a move near 4.1%, or $7.84, after results are released. Median move over the past eight quarters is 5.5%.
