Deutsche Bank downgraded KapStone Paper & Packaging (NYSE: KS) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $23.00.

Analyst, Mark Wilde, said, "KapStone’s stock has rallied sharply in the past few weeks in anticipation of successful implementation of the $50/ton containerboard price hike. However, with sluggish demand and continued drop in OCC costs, we’re a bit cautious on implementation of the price hike. At current levels, we think the stock is fairly valued."
