Deutsche Bank downgraded Advisory Board Company (NASDAQ: ABCO) from Buy to Hold.

Deutsche analyst says, "We are lowering our recommendation on The Advisory Board as ABCO has achieved our $57 price target, which we are leaving unchanged. We also make no changes to our estimates. At 42x our CY11E EPS, ABCO is trading at the high end of its historical trading range, so we reduce our rating due to its full valuation. We advise investors to switch into Huron Consulting due to its also high exposure to hospital consulting, more attractive valuation, and higher probability of a guidance raise, in our view."
