Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Netflix (NFLX) downgraded to Underperform from Neutral at Buckingham with analyst Matthew Harrigan saying he estimates that the stock's current price implies "optimistic" views of the company reaching 360M global members in 2025 and 505M by 2033 along with a long-term operating profit margin near 35%. 2. Rockwell Automation (ROK) downgraded to Sell from Neutral at Goldman Sachs while Parker-Hannifin (PH) was downgraded to Neutral from Buy. 3. FedEx (FDX) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at UBS with analyst Thomas Wadewitz saying with a large global Express business representing 55% of revenue and about 13% of revenue linked to Asia, FedEx is exposed to risk from tariffs and potentially slower trade activity. 4. Hasbro (HAS) downgraded to Underperform from Market Perform at BMO Capital with analyst Gerrick Johnson saying the liquidation of Toys R US may be "more impactful than investors realize" after the initial 9% rally in the stock price on "relief that things were not worse," even as retailers are becoming more selective in the "pantry loading" inventory restocking process. 5. Intrexon (XON) downgraded to Underperform from Neutral at BofA/Merrill with analyst Derik de Bruin citing lack of near-term catalysts and lack of contribution from "advanced" programs until 2020s.
