Investors frequently get to see the analyst upgrades and Buy ratings from Wall Street firms. What investors often do not get to see is when analyst downgrade stocks to sell or to avoid. 24/7 Wall St. reviews many fresh research calls each and every day to find great ideas from value stocks to growth stocks to dividend stocks, and we have broken out the negative analyst calls today. These are this Thursday’s top analyst downgrades and cautious research notes from Wall Street.

Barnes & Noble Inc. (NYSE: BKS) was cut to Neutral from Buy at Janney.

Coldwater Creek Inc. (NASDAQ: CWTR) was cut to Neutral from Buy at B. Riley.
