Energy Solutions Inc. Stock Downgraded (ES)

Associated Press

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Energy Solutions (NYSE:ES) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, generally weak debt management, disappointing return on equity, poor profit margins and weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:

Disbanding Utah’s Radiation Control Board and replacing it with a downsized board, especially reducing oversight by health professionals, is an appalling act of disservice to the health of Utah citizens, now and in the future.
