Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. AstraZeneca (AZN) upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Leerink with analyst Seamus Fernandez saying the recent weakness in shares provides an "excellent entry point" ahead of several critical pipeline events that have the potential "to transform this giant into an exciting growth story." 2. Autodesk (ADSK) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Canaccord with analyst Richard Davis citing expectations for improved free cash flow, as he sees a path to $6 in FCF by 2020 and $11 per share in 2022. 3. Eaton (ENT) upgraded to Overweight from Neutral at JPMorgan with analyst Ann Duignan saying optionality of the company's balance sheet should offset broad weakness across its end markets. 4. Fluor (FLR) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Citi with analyst Andrew Kaplowitz saying the company is positioned to outperform given amid oil and gas capex stabilization, a lift off the bottom in mining off the bottom and "muted" 2017 expectations. 5.

Autodesk announced an interoperability agreement with the Nemetschek Group to improve open collaboration and efficiencies for the architecture, engineering, construction and operations, or AECO, and media and entertainment industries. The agreement will enhance existing interoperability between the two companies' industry cloud and desktop products and improve the fluent exchange of information across solutions. Whether constructing buildings or highways or producing media assets, working with cloud-connected tools powers automation and unlocks valuable insights for better decisions at every stage of a project. But too often, people, processes, and data are siloed due to software and file incompatibility, resulting in inefficient workflows. Under the terms of the agreement, Autodesk and the Nemetschek Group will provide mutual access to their APIs and industry clouds, thereby giving developer access to Autodesk solutions including AutoCAD, Revit, 3ds Max and Maya, as well as Autodesk Forma and Autodesk Construction Cloud, similarly to Nemetschek solutions including Allplan, Archicad, Bluebeam, Maxon One, Vectorworks as well as Nemetschek's relevant cloud platforms. This will enable the two companies to improve upon existing data exchanges and open new data-centric workflows that span disciplines and industries.
