Jefferies downgraded DuPont (NYSE: DD) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $55.00 (from $62.00).

The firm comments, "To better reflect a weaker EU demand outlook and incremental deterioration in TiO2 dynamics (price increases stalling earlier than expected), we are lowering 2012E $0.10 to $4.25 and 2013E $0.20 to $4.60. Multiple expansion appears less likely as capital will likely flow to other recovery plays."
