Roku (ROKU, $60.83) drops -4%, on downgrade by Loop Capital
Roku stock was downgraded to “sell” from “hold” by Loop Capital analysts, causing the shares to lose more than -4% in pre-market trading Wednesday.

However, analysts at Wedbush at the time downgraded the stock to “neutral” from “outperform”, citing possibilities of higher spending by Roku and therefore lower operating margins than the analysts’ had previously estimated.
