Goldman Sachs downgraded CTC Media (NASDAQ: CTCM) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $12.30 (down from $13.60).

The firm said shares and business performance will remain under pressure on: (1) weak TV market fundamentals in 2012 as advertising revenue growth slows as advertisers do not feel a rebound in a consumption; (2) the base effect of higher audience share in 1H11; and (3) the change in the shareholder structure introduced the risk of CTC Media becoming a consolidation hub for new shareholder media/broadcasting assets.
