Beyond Meat (BYND) — Shares of the alternative-meat maker dipped 2.4% in premarket trading after Piper Sandler downgraded the company to an underweight rating. “Beyond is an early leader in plant-based meat, but we believe its current all-channel retail momentum lags consensus expectations,” the firm said in a note to clients.

Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Las Vegas Sands (LVS) — Macao-related casino stocks dipped again as authorities weigh tighter regulations on Macao’s gaming industry. Wynn declined 1.8%, while Las Vegas Sands slid 2.4%. JPMorgan downgraded both stocks to neutral from overweight following the governmental action, writing in a note to clients that they “don’t like the uncertainty and opacity surrounding Macao and China policy.”

DoorDash (DASH) — Bank of America upgraded DoorDash to a buy rating, sending shares 3% higher during premarket trading. The firm’s bullish call is based on upside to 2021 estimates as well as a “robust” five-year growth opportunity.

Credit Suisse upgraded the stock to an outperform rating, saying Cisco is poised to execute on its long-term guidance while ramping its recurring revenue streams.

Fisker (FSR) — Shares of the electric vehicle company dipped 2.7% after Bank of America downgraded the stock to neutral from buy.

Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) — The energy stock advanced 1.3% on Thursday morning, despite a pullback in natural gas futures. Cabot’s stock has surged 25% during September amid a historic run in natural gas, which has seen prices hit their highest level in more than seven years.
