Ericsson (ERIC) upgraded to Conviction Buy from Buy at Goldman Sachs with analyst Alexander Duval citing his view that its fundamentals are solid in Networks, Digital Services and Managed Services but the stock has pulled back by about 5% relative to the others in EU Tech since the company's Q2 report on July 17. 2. AB InBev (BUD) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at BofA/Merrill with analyst Fernando Ferreira saying the cycle of downward earnings revisions is coming to an end. 3. Volaris (VLRS) upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Barclays with analyst Pablo Monsivais saying he sees share upside given the company's "simple model" that drives the lowest possible costs. 4. NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) upgraded to Outperform from In Line at Evercore ISI. 5. Gilead (GILD) upgraded to Top Pick from Outperform at RBC Capital with analyst Brian Abrahams saying the stock represents a "compelling opportunity" with limited downside risks as the company's HIV franchise generates a "steady" annual revenue of about $16B per year over the medium term given the "very strong" uptake of its Biktarvy, according to prescription data.
