Jefferies downgraded American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) from Buy to Hold with a $15 price target.

The firm cited, "lack of revenue visibility, which is consistent with our investment theme for 2H’11. Additionally, we see no near term catalysts aside from the appointment of a new CEO, which we do not expect to move the stock significantly. While the stock is cheap, it is likely to remain range bound. We believe risk/reward is balanced at current levels."
