Catch up on today's top five analyst downgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Whirlpool (WHR) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Goldman with analyst Samuel Eisner saying "tough" pricing in North America and "stronger" raw material headwinds should limit margin expansion. The analyst sees some risk to Whirlpool's 2017 guidance, especially in the back half of the year, and cut his price target for the shares to $187 from $191. 2. JetBlue (JBLU) was downgraded to Hold from Buy at Argus and to Underperform from Peer Perform at Wolfe Research. 3. Weatherford (WFT) downgraded to Hold from Buy at Jefferies with analyst Brad Handler citing a challenging international landscape, "disappointing" free cash flow in 2016 and continued share dilution. The analyst lowered his price target for the shares to $6 from $7. 4. Graphic Packaging (GPK) downgraded to Buy from Conviction Buy at Goldman with analyst Brian Maguire saying shares have underperformed since the guidance cut in October due to weaker end markets, higher OCC costs, foreign exchange, inventory restocking, Hurricane Mathew, and inventory restocking. 5. 8point3 Energy (CAFD) was downgraded to Underperform from Market Perform at Avondale and to Neutral from Buy at Roth Capital.
