JPMorgan downgraded DaVita (NYSE: DVA) from Neutral to Underweight with a price target of $51.00 (from $66.00).

Analyst Gary Taylor cites lacking visibility into the company's commercial mix for the downgrade. The analyst comments "DVA has refused to publicly disclose its total number of AKF-subsidized commercial patients. Until we can receive greater clarity to the contrary, we advise investors to Underweight DVA shares."

FY 2017 EPS estimate remains at $3.61, FY 2018 EPS estimate falls from $3.77 to $3.52 and FY 2019 EPS estimate falls from $4.24 to $3.74.
