Credit Suisse downgraded to Sector Perform from Outperform at RBC Capital
RBC Capital analyst Anke Reingen downgraded Credit Suisse to Sector Perform and lowered her price target for the shares to 15 francs from 17.50 francs. A re-rating higher of shares in the near-term will be difficult amid pressure on revenue and limited scope to cut more costs, Reingen tells investors in a research note. The analyst reduced her fiscal 2019 estimates for Credit Suisse by 10% to reflect current market trends.

On The Fly: Top five analyst upgrades
Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) upgraded to Buy from Hold and Daimler AG (DDAIF) upgraded to Hold from Underperform at Jefferies with analyst Philippe Houchois citing valuation. 2. Danone (DANOY) upgraded to Outperform from Sector Perform at RBC Capital with analyst James Jones saying he now has less "punitive" assumptions about the company's sales growth and capital expenditures as its profits have become less reliant on dairy. 3. Hexcel (HXL) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Canaccord with analyst Ken Herbert stating he believes the acceleration in growth expected in 2018 will continue into 2019. 4. Qorvo (QRVO) upgraded to Overweight from Sector Weight at KeyBanc with analyst Michael McConnell citing healthy China smartphone trends, stabilizing Apple (AAPL) iPhone demand, and greater than expected market share gains in China smartphones. 5. Advanced Energy (AEIS) upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Raymond James with analyst Pavel Molchanov saying the company's 9% free cash flow yield has turned the shares into an appealing deep value story, despite slowing organic growth.

Danone upgraded to Buy from Hold at Deutsche Bank
Deutsche Bank analyst Gerry Gallagher upgraded Danone to Buy and raised his price target for the shares to EUR 80 from EUR 70. The underperformance of the stock since the WhiteWave deal was announced in July 2016 has priced in the company's overpayment for the asset, Gallagher tells investors in a research note. Further, Program Protein and "One Danone" provide insurance, the analyst contends.

Danone downgraded to Sell at Goldman Sachs on demographic concerns
As reported earlier, Goldman Sachs analyst Mitch Collett downgraded Danone to Sell from Neutral. The analyst believes that the consensus expectations for organic revenue growth are overly optimistic in an "environment of deteriorating demographic trends." Collett adds that he sees the 15% earnings multiple discount on the shares as justified given the company's "lower organic sales growth, lower returns, and higher financial leverage."
