Jefferies downgraded Heinz (NYSE: HNZ) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $56 (down from $60).
The firm comments, "While the international businesses seem to do well, the North American Consumer Products division continues to struggle. After several attempts to improve this business, we prefer to move to the sidelines until the company shows some turnaround success. FY13 guidance was disappointing, in our view, with potentially all of the EPS growth coming from tax benefit."
FY12 EPS was cut from $3.60 to $3.46 and FY13 from $3.95 to $3.59.
