Signet Jewelers (SIG) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at BofA/Merrill with analyst Lorraine Hutchinson saying Signet lacks growth visibility near-term and lowered estimates to reflect a weak base business, credit transition issues, and a loss of EBIT from subprime credit outsourcing. 4. Dominion (D) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at BofA/Merrill with analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith saying the latest FERC policy changes is a headwind to Dominion's dropdown desire into Dominion Midstream (DM) and could impact valuations of midstream assets. 5. Essex Property Trust (ESS) downgraded to Hold from Buy at SunTrust with analyst Michael Lewis saying the stock's recent outperformance has narrowed its discount to NAV to the smallest margin among its peers, even though its leverage and earnings growth rate are comparable to those of peers.
