** Henkel AG (LSE: 0IZ8.L - news) & Co Kgaa: "Positive data points are unlikely to materialise until 2020" Berenberg says, adding that catalysts to realise a higher rating are lacking -- cuts co to "hold" from "buy"

** 5-star ranked Inderes cuts Nokian Tyres Plc to "increase" from "buy" due to the rise in co's shares price in the beginning of the year, as well as signals from the industry pointing to weak results in the next quarters

** Top-ranked Exane BNP Paribas cuts Kone (LSE: 0II2.L - news) to "neutral" from "outperform", saying its shares now price in a margin recovery and some potential for large-scale M&A
