depreciator

One who belittles

A depreciator is someone who belittles or diminishes the value of something.

The word applies to critics who downplay achievements, pessimists who discount good news, or anyone who habitually undervalues what others prize: He's a chronic depreciator of his own accomplishments.

In financial contexts, a depreciator might be a factor that reduces an asset's worth over time.
