A round-up of notable broker activity this morning from Europe's
top-ranked* analysts:
** Barclays raises Kuehne + Nagel KNIN.S to "equal-weight"
from "underweight", pointing to high exposure to sea freight and
leaner corporate structure
** J.P.Morgan upgrades Dutch insurer NN Group NV NN.AS to
"overweight" from "neutral", seeing it as a "strong" beneficiary
of Dutch pensions reform
** The broker also downgrades ASR Nederland ASRNL.AS to
"neutral" from "overweight" on lower estimates for non-life
insurance and fee-based businesses
** Deutsche Bank upgrades Euronext ENX.PA to "buy" from
"hold", saying the pan-European exchange group's
underperformance vs peers and the market now creates a
compelling opportunity as its revenue growth accelerates
