A round-up of notable broker activity this morning from Europe's
top-ranked* analysts:
** J.P.Morgan cuts media stocks Publicis PUBP.PA and
Wolters Kluwer WLSNc.AS to "neutral" from "overweight" as it
says both had extended periods of stock over-performance
** Morgan Stanley downgrades Portuguese Galp GALP.LS to
"underweight" from "equal weight" as it sees now the stock as
less attractive than peers after shares already incorporated
substantial value for the Mopane oil field discoveries in
Namibia
** RBC cuts the mining group Anglo American AAL.L to
"perform" form "outperform" as it expects the fire at Grosvenor
to delay the sale of the met coal division, removing one of the
key near term catalysts
