Pandora stock continued to fall Monday, despite recent buyout rumors. The fall was fueled in part by a lawsuit filed by PayPal over Pandora's logo. Adding to the bad news, analysts at Macquarie Capital announced that they are downgrading Pandora stock from a buy to neutral, because they aren't sure that a buyout will happen at reasonable price.
