Goldman Sachs downgraded Laboratory Corporation of America (NYSE: LH) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $83.00 (from $85.00).

The sell rating is based on: (1) any volume upside driven from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is likely to come at the cost of pricing and margins, (2) upside to consensus EPS will depend on an increasing amount of financial leverage, and (3) aggressive capital allocation is unlikely to drive significant multiple expansion
