Jefferies downgraded DuPont (NYSE: DD) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $75.00.

Analyst Laurence Alexander commented, "Two decades of renovation, restructuring & reinvention have culminated in DuPont merging with Dow Chemical (DOW, Hold) in a "starburst" transaction that will create three separate companies. Much of the potential value now appears discounted, with end-market risk and integration risk likely capping the shares through late 2016. With a better entry point likely in mid-2016, we downgrade to Hold from Buy."
