Goldman Sachs downgraded AK Steel (NYSE: AKS) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $5.00 (from $6.00), suggesting 17% downside.

The firm sees "continuing weak flat steel prices, a highly leveraged balance sheet, high pension funding requirements, high capex to fund its raw material strategy, and no sign of a turnaround in its lucrative electrical steel end market to continue to weigh on the stock."
