Shares of Research In Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ: RIMM) are paring gains early Tuesday following Monday's 10-plus percent rally on the heels of Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) bid $40/share bid for Motorola Mobility (NYSE: MMI).

The stock is down about 1.5 percent with a couple hours left in pre-open trade.

An analyst at Societe Generale downgraded RIM shares from Hold to Sell this morning, also reducing the firm's price target from $50 to $20.

With Research In Motion shares last trading around $26.64, SocGen's new price target implies potential downside of about 25 percent.

Elsewhere on the Street Tuesday, Cormark Securities' Richard Tse upgraded Research In Motion shares from Reduce to Speculative Buy. The analyst sees RIM shares rising to $34 over the next year, up from $30 previously.
