Catch up on the today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. UBS (UBS) downgraded to Underweight from Neutral by JPMorgan analyst Kian Abouhossein, who cut his estimates for European banks following the Brexit vote. The analyst also downgraded Barclays (BCS) Deustche Bank (DB), Lloyds Banking (LYG) and Credit Suisse (CS) to Neutral from Overweight and RBS (RBS) to Underweight from Neutral. Barclays was also downgraded at Jefferies, BofA/Merrill and Exane BNP Paribas, RBS was also downgraded at RBC Capital, Societe Generale, Jefferies, BofA/Merrill and Exane BNP Paribas and Lloyds was also downgraded at Barclays and BofA/Merrill. 2. Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) downgraded to Buy from Conviction Buy at Goldman by analyst Stefan Burgstaller, who cited slower European volume growth, a weaker North American market outlook in out years and updated currency assumptions following the UK referendum. The analyst cut his price target for the shares to $8 from $12.80. 3. LyondellBasell (LYB) downgraded to Sector Perform from Outperform at RBC Capital by analyst Arun Viswanathan, who sees limited near-term catalysts given soft ethylene and polyethylene momentum and is cautious on the large increase of ethylene capacity in 2017/18 and potentially higher ethane prices, combined with higher capex needs. The analyst cut his price target to $84 from $100. 4. AGCO (AGCO) downgraded to Underweight from Neutral at JPMorgan by analyst Ann Duignan, who cited weakening fundamentals in European agriculture. The company has the greatest exposure to Europe in our Machinery coverage, Duignan told investors in a research note. She cut her price target for the shares to $44 from $47. The analyst this morning also downgraded PACCAR (PCAR) and Parker-Hannifin (PH) to Underweight from Neutral. 5. NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at BofA/Merrill by analysts led by Vivek Arya, who lowered his price target to $90 from $100. Analysts lowered estimates given the company's heavy exposure to the Auto segment and industrial/infrastructure segment and likely pressure on top-line growth from Brexit. The analyst is less confidence NXP can grow top line year-over-year in 2016/17 and said the Freescale (FSL) acquisition and shareholder sales creates an overhang.
