Pearson PLC (LSE:PSON), the education and assessment group, has been downgraded to 'neutral' from 'buy' by UBS after an 18% rise in its shares this year left the broker seeing fewer catalysts for further gains. UBS kept its 1,300p price target unchanged, compared with Pearson's 1,243p closing price on 7 October, and said the company's underlying operating momentum remained solid.
