You have to realise that the opinion of a broker doesn't mean the entire organisation has that same opinion. An analogy would be you working for a company and either you or your department have a particular opinion. The company itself or other departments within don't necessarily have the same opinion as you or your department. UBS, Macquarie, etc are huge organisations.

Brokers aren't spreading "fear". They are giving an appraisal of the current situation, which isn't good. The major channel for growth for the company is practically non-existent and it's anyone's guess how/if it will recover. Insiders selling en masse after the FY report, including the CEO of Asia/Pacific selling all shares available to him, doesn't give the market any confidence, let alone the recent downgrade which came within a month after confirming the previous downgraded guidance. Guidance seems like a game of pin the tail on the donkey - the company appears to be largely blind to its revenue, which isn't necessarily the company's fault. Although the company is to be blamed for making silly wishful thinking forecasts amid a period of uncertainty.
