Dahlman Rose downgraded Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY) from Buy to Hold.

Dahlman analyst says, "We initiated on Yamana with a Buy rating in August 2009. Over the past 30 months, the company has been able to successfully maintain or increase production at seven operating mines, bring into production its eighth mine (Mercedes), and bring several new assets under construction. Share performance has been among the best of the large-cap gold producers for both 2011 and 2012 YTD. We believe management will continue to deliver strong operating performance and growth. We are downgrading to Hold based on our view of valuation, as the market appears to have recognized the value of the company's assets as we see them."
