"To deal with the trade war, what China really should do is to focus on doing its own thing well," the People's Daily said.

Dual headwinds - namely middleware deceleration and a softer renewal pattern that impacted Red Hat's first-quarter results - are likely to linger for a few quarters, Murphy said in the downgrade note. The deduction is based on the findings of JP Morgan's Q2 Red Hat partner survey, which painted a mixed picture, with a couple of metrics improving and others deteriorating. If the decelerating trend results in a CY19 EV/FCF range of 20-30 times for Red Hat, the analyst expects the shares to trade in the $120-$180 range for now, equating to an even upside/downside profile.
