Wells Fargo downgraded Malibu Boats (NASDAQ: MBUU) from Outperform to Market Perform with a price target of $44.00 (from $39.00).

The analyst says the current valuation reflects the following factors and therefore steps to the sidelines:

1. current US boat market fundamentals/dynamics supporting a broad recovery,
2. Crossover interest from adjacent boat segments,
3. Sustained innovation driving volume gains and higher unit economics,
4. Largely untapped int'l markets and,
5. Cobalt/vertical integration opportunities.
