Piper Jaffray downgrades Mitel Networks (Nasdaq: MITL) from Overweight to Neutral. PT lowered from $14.00 to $6.50.

Piper analyst says, "Mitel reported mixed FQ1 results, missing the low end of management's top line guidance of $163M but matching margin expectations. Though public for less than six months, it was announced that Don Smith will retire as CEO...MITL's two quarters as a public company have been underwhelming and while we believe in the longer-term story, too much uncertainty remains in the near term to be bullish."
