Itron (NASDAQ: ITRI) from Buy to Underperform, and lowered the price target from $40.00 to $39.00.In the report, Bank of America noted, “We are downgrading Itron from Buy to Underperform. Expected 1H2014 vendor announcements for a number of global smart meter rollouts did not materialize. Our estimates come down as a result as we see increased risk that meter deployments necessary to support the stock at current levels may not materialize.
