Shell (ADVFN)

In further broker adjustments, Royal Dutch Shell was downgraded to 'neutral' from 'buy' at Goldman Sachs this morning following on from similar downgrades at JP Morgan and Dresdner Kleinwort.
Goldman Sachs said the sting in the tail from yesterday's result was a 3-4 bln usd capital expenditure hike and a significant production downgrade.
Goldman also cut its price target by 7 pct to 1,900 pence from 2,050.
Earlier, JP Morgan cut its rating on the oil giant to 'neutral' from 'overweight', while DK cut its stance to 'hold' from 'buy' following Shell's fourth quarter result yesterday. Shell's shares eased 8 pence to 1,731.
