Equal Weight -> Underweight
Reason
Morgan Stanley analyst Steven Haynes downgraded Archer Daniels to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $50, down from $57. The firm sees risk that the Environmental Protection Agency's renewable volume obligation has raised expectations into 2026 and overshadowed further downside in Archer's Carb Solutions unit due to weaker margins. Morgan Stanley sees an unfordable setup for Archer Daniels shares.

Reason
JPMorgan analyst Kamran Hossain downgraded Admiral Group to Underweight from Neutral with a price target of 3,000 GBp, down from 3,050 GBp. The firm adjusted ratings in the European insurance space as part of its 2026 outlook. It is less positive on the sector in 2026 after two years of outperformance. With relative valuations "now stretched and earnings momentum stalling, the sector's total return outlook looks more limited than in prior years," the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan says investors should focus on restructuring catalysts, strong capital returns, and stocks that can beat consensus growth or margin expectations.
