Deutsche Bank downgraded Aixtron (NASDAQ: AIXG) from Buy to Hold. PT cut from E40 to E17.

Deutsche analyst says, "Our Q3 customer survey shows recent market volatility will likely have a more severe impact on capex plans in H2-11 and beyond, indicating downside risk to our previous bookings forecast of E200m/Q. In our base case we now expect an 11% guidance miss this year and a small revenue decline in 2012. In this scenario we think the shares fairly valued. However, further volatility, particularly in credit, would make a bear case of ~40% downside more likely. Hence, 2 years after our upgrade and after 9 quarters of growing orders, we downgrade to Hold."
