Downgraded Stocks on NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, TSE, and TSX

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.

Trading at Less than Cash Value

Today we are looking at companies trading at less than cash value meaning companies whose current share price is less than the cash per share on the balance sheet. We also show the value of cash net debt per share to show how much cash per share would be left if the debt was paid off.

What this Means…

Companies can have more cash per share than the actual share price for a number of reasons including they just raised capital, are in industries that experience high burn rates and will eat through the cash quickly or if there is a lot of uncertainty about the future of the company. Companies earning a positive net income will have a P/E greater than 0 and are worth exploring in more detail.

Trading at Less than Cash Value

Today we are looking at companies trading at less than cash value meaning companies whose current share price is less than the cash per share on the balance sheet. We also show the value of cash net debt per share to show how much cash per share would be left if the debt was paid off.

What this Means…

Companies can have more cash per share than the actual share price for a number of reasons including they just raised capital, are in industries that experience high burn rates and will eat through the cash quickly or if there is a lot of uncertainty about the future of the company. Companies earning a positive net income will have a P/E greater than 0 and are worth exploring in more detail.
