Tesla (TSLA) downgraded to Underperform from Sector Perform at RBC Capital with analyst Joseph Spak saying the company's more "tactful messaging" conveys downward pressure to growth expectations and also sees the "realities" of Tesla becoming a volume player highlighting its "challenges to scale and deliver high volume at high ASPs/margins." 2. Lowe's (LOW) downgraded to Hold from Buy at Loop Capital with analyst Laura Champine saying she thinks she was previously too optimistic on Lowe's likely margin progression. 3. Williams-Sonoma (WSM) downgraded to Underweight from Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley with analyst Simeon Gutman saying he believes top and bottom-line pressures will intensify in 2019. 4. Merck (MRK) downgraded to Market Perform from Outperform at BMO Capital with analyst Alex Arfaei citing the company's over-dependence on Keytruda, the Street's high expectations, and his views on upcoming competitor trials combining for a more balanced risk-reward on Merck. 5. Pfizer (PFE) and Mylan (MYL) were downgraded to Neutral from Buy at UBS. This list is just a portion of The Fly's full analyst coverage. To see The Fly's full Street Research coverage, click here.

Loop Capital analyst Laura Champine downgraded Lowe's to Hold and lowered her price target for the shares to $99 from $125. The retailer closed yesterday down 3% to $91.56. The analyst thinks she was previously too optimistic on Lowe's likely margin progression. She still expects the company's fiscal 2019 same-store-sales to rise 3%, but she believes Lowe's will need to be more promotional to achieve this. Further, the analyst expects industry demand to moderate this year. Management's initiatives to drive sales will have a long-term payoff, "but we are not seeing significant progress in stores yet," Champine tells investors in a research note. As such, the analyst believe shares of Lowe's are reasonably priced at current levels. 03/08/13 Wedge Partners 03/08/13 Credit Suisse 03/06/13 Citigroup 03/06/13 Barclays See Street Research during your Free Trial	06 Feb 27 Feb 03 Mar

Barclays analyst Matthew McClintock downgraded Lowe's to Equal Weight from Overweight and lowered his price target for the shares to $105 from $120. The analyst acknowledges the "significant longer-term value creation opportunity" at the company, but believes it is unproven that Lowe's can accelerate comps into decelerating macro and industry trends in 2019. Many of Lowe's turnaround initiatives are based on either better labor execution or major investments, and neither of these are likely to drastically change its near-term results, adds the analyst. He believes the stock's isk profile is "heightened for the time being." 03/08/13 Wedge Partners 03/08/13 Credit Suisse 03/06/13 Citigroup 03/06/13 Barclays See Street Research during your Free Trial	27 Feb 03 Mar
