Albert Fried & Company downgraded Rentrak (NASDAQ: RENT) from Market Perform to Underweight with a price target of $13.00 (from $18.00).

Analyst, Rich Tullo, said, "RENT reported weak results in our view as revenue missed our estimate and the Company’s operating loss was below our estimate even excluding a $1.1 million one time charge in Europe. RENT’s AMI segment benefited from new TTV and Cable network deals however growth was about 10% below our 40% AMI growth estimate which proved to be too optimistic. however to be clear, AMI Y/Y growth did accelerate to 29% in F4Q12A from 16% in F3Q12A. The issue in our view is Home DVD declines could offset even robust AMI gains in FY2013E."
