Goldman Sachs downgraded Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $11.00. Analyst Greg Dunham doesn't view the stock as an acquisition candidate.

"Our illustrative LBO model indicates a -1% IRR for NUAN under our base case assumptions. However, assuming cost cutting and margin improvement, NUAN returns 1% while both CVLT (Nasdaq: CVLT) and INFA (Nasdaq: INFA) clear a 20% hurdle. We do not see NUAN as a potential acquisition candidate, and see growth and margins challenged, which is the basis for our downgrade," said Dunham.
