Shares of Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) are moving lower in pre-market action Monday following a downgrade from Oppenheimer's Joseph Altobello.

The analyst now rates the stock a Perform, down from Outperform previously. Altobello suspended his $75 price target. Altobello said he is concerned with P&G following "another mixed quarter" on Friday. Procter shares fell more than 3.5 percent following the results.

The Oppenheimer analyst warned P&G could "remain growth-challenged for some time" as Altobello is beginning to view the company's issues as more structural than he had originally believed. He is no longer modeling for a stronger second half of this year.

P&G shares last traded at $64.23, down about 0.3 percent from Friday's close.
