Davenport downgrades Exelon Corp. (NYSE: EXC) from Buy to Neutral
Davenport analyst says, "We are lowering our rating on Exelon to Neutral in the wake of the company’s announcement this morning that it was raising the exchange ratio in its unsolicited offer to acquire NRG Energy (NYSE: NRG) from 0.485 EXC shares to 0.545 EXC shares for each NRG share...Notwithstanding Exelon’s discussion of newly discovered synergies, that it indicated was the basis of its higher offer, we still believe the new transaction to be EPS dilutive to EXC, and not in the best interest of its shareholders... Our pro-forma numbers, which assume $200 million of annualized cost synergies, offset by $87 million in added annual finance costs, as well as $1.1 billion of new common equity, but does not reflect any reduction of margin from assets to be divested, show the new transaction as being EPS dilutive, with our 2010 estimate of $4.14 being reduced to $3.94 on a pro-forma basis, and our 2011 estimate of $4.55 lowered to $4.24 on a pro-forma basis."

Deutsche Bank downgrades Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI) from Buy to Hold. Price target $23.
Deutsche analyst says, "Shares have risen 161% since our upgrade on March 12th, compared to 23% for the S&P500. Our upgrade was based on our belief in JCI's ability to mitigate downside in its Auto segment, and our belief that JCI's Power Solutions & Building Efficiency businesses were less cyclical than implied by JCI's valuation. While we continue to believe that JCI will restructure its Auto segment to profitability by year-end, and navigate a temporary slowdown in its B.E. segment in 2010, we believe valuation reflects the current outlook...We believe that JCI's Building Efficiency segment results could weaken short-term, as the education, health and gov't sectors could lag a recovery in the overall construction market. Longer-term, JCI remains bullish on opportunities for the Building Efficiency business from the Federal Stimulus package, which included $12bn of revenue opportunities for products and services such as those offered by JCI."
