Deutsche Bank downgraded Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (NYSE: PEG) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $31 (down from $35).

The firm lowered 2013-14 EPS estimates come down $0.20/$0.30 to $2.35/$2.40 due to their now lower commodity price assumptions, creating a flattish earnings outlook.

They comment, "We continue to see appeal in PEG's relatively stronger balance sheet that should enable it to better withstand a prolonged power market downturn. However, the unregulated power business is simply too large a piece of the consolidated entity, and the outlook for this side of the business has deteriorated considerably."
