Standpoint Research downgraded Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT) from Buy to Hold.

Standpoint analyst, Ronnie Moas, said, "The first name that we are dropping is MDT. We added/reinstated three healthcare equipment names in August and those were MDT, Stryker (NYSE: SYK) and Zimmer (NYSE: ZMH). We want to reduce our exposure there. Attached is our 13-page report on MDT, ZMH and SYK from September for whoever wants additional information. MDT is + 14.7% for us and + 900 bps versus the S&P-500. The shares remain undervalued by 10% but we feel MDT has run its course versus the S&P and we can no longer leave our highest recommendation attached to this name."
