What is an analyst downgrade?

A downgrade is a sell-side analyst lowering their rating on a stock, for example from Buy to Hold or from Outperform to Underperform. Downgrades are rarer than upgrades, which is why many traders weigh them more heavily.

Why do analysts downgrade stocks?

Common reasons are valuation after a strong run, slowing growth, a guidance cut, competitive pressure, or a change in the analyst's macro view. The research note usually spells out which one, and the headline typically names the firm and the new rating.
