Goldman Sachs Downgrades C&J Energy Services (CJES) to Neutral

Goldman Sachs downgraded C&J Energy Services (NYSE: CJES) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $22.00 (from $28.00).

Analyst Michael Cerasoli said, "Key to our Buy rating was that CJES’ value-added processes would better shield it during a period of E&P spending pullbacks. We were wrong, as E&Ps increased focus on cost controls is resulting in more commodity type pressure pumping jobs than those suited to CJES’ competitive strengths, resulting in lower than forecast equipment utilization."
