Goldman Sachs downgraded Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $56.00 (from $66.00).

Goldman comments, "The firm is losing share, as margins decline; we believe online share incursions and price image are contributing to this challenge, and that BBBY's best-in-class visual and item merchandising do not translate well online; margins and sales productivity are still quite close to peak levels; and, acquisitions offer options to gain share, but no clear path."
