Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. JPMorgan analyst Richard Vosser downgraded Novartis (NVS) to Neutral from Overweight saying pressures on the company's business are mounting. The pressure from generic erosion in 2017 "remains high" with an estimated $2.3B of sales expected to be lost to generics, said Vosser, who sees "significant downside" to consensus estimates for Novartis. 2. BofA Merrill Lynch analyst Lisa Lewandowski downgraded Philip Morris (PM) to Neutral from Buy and lowered its price target to $96 from $102 citing concerns from the strong U.S. dollar, less impact from an overhaul in U.S. tax policy versus peers, underperformance in combustible tobacco volumes, increasing heat-not-burn competition, a rotation out of defensive/bond proxy assets, and debt convent constraints. 3. Jefferies analyst Andy Barish downgraded Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) to Underperform from Hold, saying he does not believe the company's same-store-sales have broken out above 2% while its international growth has been disappointing. Barish also downgraded Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) to Underperform, citing the 15% post-election rally with no change in fundamentals along with the company's "significant" mall exposure. 4. Evercore ISI downgraded Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) to Hold from Buy and lowered its price target to $690 from $780, with analyst Vijay Kumar saying he expects 2017 to be one of the most challenging for healthcare in general, with the sector facing issues ranging from ACA repeal to border tax reform to interest expense deductibility. 5. Cowen analyst Helane Becker downgraded a number of airline stocks, including United Continental (UAL), JetBlue (JBLU), Alaska Air (ALK) and American Airlines (AAL), to Market Perform from Outperform based on valuation.
