Reason for SSB downgrading CPQ Over in techland, it looks like a Salomon Smith Barney downgrade of Compaq (CPQ:NYSE) has put a bit of a kibosh on the big move the sector's seen lately. "We are downgrading shares of Compaq to neutral from outperform based on channel inventory concerns," wrote Salomon Smith Barney analyst Richard Gardner in a note this morning. "Our sources indicate that Compaq has already begun the process of negotiating with the channel to take on additional inventory despite the fact that we believe that U.S. channel inventories of Compaq product are still above five weeks." Compaq was down 1 1/8 to 32 7/8, having traded as low as 30 7/8.
