This post was originally published on this site

Keurig Dr Pepper Inc (NASDAQ:KDP) shares fell 3.5% today after Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) downgraded the company to Neutral from Buy and lowered its price target to $37.00 from $39.00. The analysts now see a more balanced risk/reward given their expectation that brewer household penetration starts to normalize, pod attach rates moderate and the company’s packaged beverage business growth & market share gains begin to slow in this environment.

UBS downgraded shares of CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX) and Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC) to Neutral from Buy and cut the price target to $31 (from $38) and to $229 (from $282), respectively. According to the analysts, consensus 2023 estimates appear too high for U.S. rails with the macro backdrop deteriorating, expecting downward revisions from industrial-related and intermodal volume assumptions in the near term.
