October 15, 2009 7:48 AM EDT

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods downgrades Navigators Group (Nasdaq: NAVG) from Outperform to Market Perform on Valuation. Price target increased by $2 to $61.

Keefe analyst says, "We are raising our PT to $61 from $59 reflecting strong 3Q09 BVPS growth; however, with less than 6% potential upside to our PT, we are downgrading NAVG to Market Perform on valuation. Given NAVG's strong recent performance, with shares up over 33% from 2009 lows and up 16% since 2Q09 earnings, NAVG is now trading at 1.3x 2Q09 BVPS, in our view a fair valuation."
