Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Hertz (HTZ) upgraded to Equal Weight from Underweight at Barclays with analyst Brian Johnson saying strength in used car and rental car prices creates a favorable backdrop for Hertz to refinance its corporate debt. 2. L Brands (LB) upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Barclays with analyst Chethan Mallela saying the company's fiscal 2019 guidance should establish an earnings "floor," which creates an "increasingly positive" risk/reward for the shares. 3. Kraft Heinz (KHC) upgraded to Hold from Sell at Societe Generale. 4. Edison International (EIX) upgraded to Neutral from Underperform at BofA/Merrill with analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith saying he sees progress by the California legislature to address utilities' current status of "insurer of last resort," potentially allowing a recovery in Edison shares. 5. Expedia (EXPE) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Argus with analyst John Staszak citing the company's "strong" Q4 results, anticipated 10%-15% adjusted EBITDA growth in 2019, the management's optimism about continued international expansion, and its attractive valuation at 17.9-times his expected forward earnings.
