Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Under Armour (UA, UAA) downgraded to Underperform from Market Perform at Wells Fargo with Wells Fargo with analyst Tom Nikic saying with consumers having filled their closets with athletic wear over the past seven years, the category "appears poised to take a breather for now." The analyst cut his price target for the shares to $13 from $17. 2. Kellogg (K) downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at Piper Jaffray with analyst Michael Lavery saying cereal could be at risk from shrinking center store space. 3. Nike (NKE) downgraded to Neutral from Positive at Susquehanna saying that his checks indicate that the North American and European businesses are decelerating as some key categories, especially basketball, have underperformed, resulting in excess inventory that will pressure sales and margins. 4. Synchronoss (SNCR) downgraded to Underperform from Outperform at Raymond James with analyst Tavis McCourt citing the news that Siris Capital is no longer interested in an all-cash transaction for all the outstanding shares of the company and has withdrawn its $18 per share bid from June 22. Further, the analyst believes it increasingly unlikely that the current strategic review will result in an acquisition at a premium and expects share to come under pressure and stay in the range prior to the Siris indication of interest. 5. Sony (SNE) downgraded to Neutral from Outperform at Credit Suisse. This list is just a portion of The Fly's full analyst coverage. To see The Fly's full Street Research coverage, click here.
