RESEARCH ALERT-VerticalNet cut to hold

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Prudential Securities analyst Tim Getz cut his rating on online business-to-business company VerticalNet Inc. to hold from accumulate.
In a report, he also slashed his 12-month price target to $7 from $20.

VerticalNet said on Monday that President and Chief Executive Joseph Galli resigned to head housewares maker Newell Rubbermaid Inc. . Galli had been at the company since July.

VerticalNet named co-founder Michael Hagan the new president and chief executive.

Galli's departure ``adds more uncertainty into the picture,'' Getz said.

``... We believe that VERT is increasingly looking like an acquisition target.''

VerticalNet shares were off $1-7/16 at $3-7/8.
