Today we are looking at companies whose share price has been downgraded by at least one analyst in the last few days.
Why Do Companies Get Downgraded?
Companies can get downgraded for a number of reasons but primarily due to reduced future earnings potential due to loss of contracts, faultering product lines, increasing costs relative to revenue or financial risk.
In the list below you can see the number of analysts we have in the StockCalc database along with the number of buy-hold-sell on the company.
