Oppenheimer downgraded Body Central Corp. (NASDAQ: BODY) from Outperform to Perform.

Analyst, Pamela Quintiliano, said, "BODY downwardly revised guidance for the second time in as many months (recall on May 3rd first took down in conjunction with 1Q report). Unfortunately since then June-to-date has experienced a broad-based deceleration resulting in above-plan markdowns and significant gross margin pressure. Issues are not expected to be resolved until mid-3Q at the earliest. As such, prefer to take a wait-and-see approach..."

Oppenheimer lowers FY12 EOS estimate from $1.38 to $1.07 and FY13 from $1.70 to $1.40.
