Goldman Sachs downgraded State Street (NYSE: STT) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $47.00.

The firm comments, "While we still favor STT's revenue opportunities in asset servicing/management as well as its leading capital position, we struggle to find a catalyst for EPS upside in the near term and/or positive multiple re-rating, keeping the stock range-bound. Moreover, a tough revenue backdrop for fee businesses and incrementally greater NIM headwinds into 2013 pose risks to STT’s pre-tax margin expansion story, in our view."

Goldman lowered 2013/2014 EPS estimates to $4.40/$5.15 from $4.55/$5.25 to reflect a tougher revenue backdrop and a slower pace of pre-tax margin expansion.
