Morgan Keegan Inc. analyst Murray Arenson downgraded Universal Electronics Inc. from "outperform" to "market perform," even though UEIC beat his earnings estimates by a penny per share.

"We believe the outlook for digital cable growth and penetration remains strong over the long-term, but the short-term outlook has become more uncertain," Arenson wrote.
