Wedbush downgraded Nutrisystem (NASDAQ: NTRI) from Outperform to Neutral, price target cut from $15 to $11.
Wedbush analyst says, "We note NTRI has run two promotions in recent weeks, including 20% off plus $20 back from January 9-13, and 50% off first month’s purchase of the core program from January 23-31. Today, Nutrisystem launched a new 40th anniversary sale for the month of February, offering 40% off all auto-delivery orders...We believe the stepped-up promotional offerings during the key selling season reflects disappointing consumer response to Nutrisystem’s new program, spokespersons, and marketing campaign and indicates another year of heavy discounting could be underway."
