Jesup & Lamont downgrades Luminex (Nasdaq: LMNX) from Buy to Neutral, as the stock reached its $20 price target.

The firm points out that shares of Luminex are up more than 50% over the last year, spiking earlier this year on "speculation regarding takeover targets of a new, much heralded $350 million blank check IPO from Goldman Sachs, Liberty Lane."

Jesup & Lamont details Luminex's "limited history of profitability and acquisitions", its dependence on "outside manufacturers" and a reliance on "regulatory agencies" as potential risks.

Luminex Corporation develops, manufactures, and sells proprietary biological testing technologies and products for applications in the life sciences industry.
