KeyBanc downgrades BWAY Holding (NYSE: BWY) from Buy to Hold.

KeyBanc analyst says, "Over the last few years, BWY has effectively passed through resin prices when they have increased, but during 2Q10, a mis-match of selling prices and costs created a lag that will persist into 3Q10. 2010 EBITDA guidance was maintained at $138 million-$142 million, while EPS guidance was lowered to $1.37-$1.47 based on higher D&A. Although this is modestly disappointing, our downgrade is based on shares trading near the proposed takeout transaction of $20/share, and a balanced risk/reward from transaction approval or disapproval."
