Jefferies downgraded Chimera Investment Corp (NYSE: CIM) from Buy to Hold and lowers their price target form $4.50 to $3.80.

The firm states, "Our downgrade is based on our expectation for additional headwinds in CIM's business, both fundamental and optical. Considering the overhangs of the run-off of the re-REMIC portfolio, increasing realized losses, and a slowdown in foreclosure activity, we expect shares to remain in a holding pattern until CIM is able to capitalize on opportunities in the new issue market."
