JPMorgan Downgrades Coke, Colgate

The traders are closely watching two downgraded stocks after JPMorgan said the next six months could be “difficult” for them.

Coke

JPMorgan downgraded Coke on Friday saying the company is being pressured by volume declines in its developed markets. And with the stock trading at an 18 percent premium to the beverage group, analyst John Faucher believe shares are not likely to increase much more,.

As a result JPMorgan lowered its rating on Coca-Cola to "Neutral" from "Overweight" but maintained a $62 price target.

Colgate

JPMorgan also downgraded Colgate on Friday saying valuations look rich. As a result they lowered the stock to ‘Neutral’ from ‘Overweight’ adding “the company has now accrued most of the benefits from its restructuring program and its top line has held in much better than its peers.”

What's the trade?

I think these are stocks to watch, says Karen Finerman. But right now it's hard to say whether the consumer is about to cocoon or if they're ready to spend again. Personally, I'm neutral on both names.
