Canaccord Genuity downgraded Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $20.00 (from $24.00) following a bumpy quarter and new concerns.

The firm comments, "Early views on the potential for re-acceleration in the core, coupled with attractive synergy opportunities, had Riverbed positioned as a Best Idea for 2013. However, core products showed little sign of improvement, and basic assumptions behind the acquisition synergies are coming into question. Absent a material and sustained fundamental reversal, we are concerned the multiple may experience lower highs and lower lows."

The firm cut FY13 EPS from $1.17 to $1.14.
