Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Nike (NKE) downgraded to Hold from Buy at Jefferies, with analyst Randal Konik saying valuation is expensive and the competitive landscape could make share gains and margin expansion difficult. Konik added Adidas' (ADDYY) success in reviving its brand appeal in North America has had a clear impact on Nike shares. 2. Foot Locker (FL) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at UBS and Finish Line (FINL) cut to Sell from Neutral by analyst Michael Binetti, who said Foot Locker's results were worse than the analyst expected and make it tougher to support a thesis that athletic retail will be able to sidestep the structural challenges of the broader sector. Binetti downgraded Finish Line based on the structural risks exposed by Foot Locker exposed in its Q2 report. 3. Barclays analyst Lydia Rainforth downgraded Total (TOT) and Repsol (REPYY) to Equal Weight from Overweight and Statoil (STO) and Eni SpA (E) to Underweight from Equal Weight citing relative valuation. 4. Canadian Solar (CSIQ) downgraded to Underweight from Equal Weight at Barclays, with analyst Jon Windham saying it faces risks from the possible delay of project sales and pricing, soft investor demand for a J-REIT listing in the second half, and risks from the September 22 injury vote in the US ITC 201 trade case. 5. Infosys (INFY) downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at JPMorgan. This list is just a portion of The Fly's full analyst coverage. To see The Fly's full Street Research coverage, click here.

Wedbush raised the firm's price target on Adidas to EUR 200 from EUR 193 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Momentum appears to be building up at Adidas, following a strong Q1 preannouncement and guidance raise on both the top and bottom lines, the firm says. Wedbush believes that brand heat is accelerating, and they should benefit as channel inventory improves. That said, a lot of the good news is already factored into the stock, the firm adds.

Bernstein analyst Aneesha Sherman raised the firm's price target on Adidas to $104.20 from $100.97 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The firm notes Adidas pre-announced a strong Q1 and raised FY guide, mostly from passing on the Q1 beat. While Bernstein's numbers were already ahead of the raised full year guide, it takes them up slightly further, as the firm believes the Q2-4 guide remains conservative given the strong Q1 performance.
