Blackberry Maker RIM Downgraded On Competition

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

Today BMO Capital Markets downgrade Blackberry maker Research in Motion Ltd (RIM)  on the grounds that the company faces heightening competition and a consumer shift towards less expensive phones.

Concerned about RIM’s reliance on Verizon Wireless—roughly 30 percent of the company’s revenue—analyst Tim Long lowered his rating to “Market Perform” from “Outperform” and reduced his share price target to $64 from $100.
