Goldman Sachs downgraded ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $58 in a sector call.

The firm sees greater upside elsewhere in the integrated/domestic oil and refiner coverage universe.

"Conoco shares continue to trade more like a defensive super major rather than a somewhat higher-beta domestic oil/E&P post the spin-off of its downstream assets," the analyst notes. While shares have held up better than others, they no see better risk/reward elsewhere in the sector.
