** Berenberg downgrades German machinery maker Duerr
DUEG.DE to "hold" from "buy", citing lack of catalysts
** "Duerr appears fairly priced for now, especially as we do
not expect significant catalysts from upcoming communications,"
the broker says
** It says the mood has brightened in the automotive
industry over the past few quarters, but it does not believe
Duerr's Automotive Paint business' greenfield order intake can
be boosted
** Among the 17 analysts that cover Duerr, nine rate the
stock "strong buy" or "buy," seven "hold" and 1 "sell" or
"strong sell"
** Shares are seen down 3.7% pre-market
