Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Evercore ISI analyst Vijay Jayant upgraded Disney (DIS) to Buy from Hold, named it Top Pick for 2017, and raised its price target to $120 from $103. Jayan believes Disney's valuation reflects well-understood short-term growth challenges at ESPN and tough Studio and Consumer Products growth comparisons. 2. Wells Fargo analyst Marci Ryvicker upgraded 21st Century Fox (FOXA) to Outperform saying the market could be surprised by the synergies from the Sky deal. The analyst also believes concerns over the Regional Sports Networks being excluded from the streaming bundles are overblown. She expects consensus estimates to go up not down and raised her price target range for the shares to $33-$35 from $28-$30. 3. Citi analyst Michael Rollins upgraded Verizon (VZ) Communications to Buy from Neutral and raised his price target for the shares to $60 from $55. 4. Evercore ISI upgraded PACCAR (PCAR) to Buy from Hold and raised its price target to $77 from $59, with analyst David Raso saying he is incrementally bullish on the Industrials and Machinery sector since his pre-US election sector upgrade. 5. Credit Suisse upgraded Xerox (XRX) to Outperform from Neutral. Analyst Kulbinder Garcha changed his rating following the Conduent (CNDT) spin-off citing a more focused printing business, potential upside to cost savings, and management's realistic vision and a well laid out long-term strategy to offset end market decline.
