Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. CarMax (KMX) upgraded two notches to Overweight from Underweight at Morgan Stanley with analyst Armintas Sinkevicius saying longer term, he is constructive on dealers, citing a belief that tech disruption could accelerate consolidation and set up a transition toward "megafleet managers." 2. Cummins (CMI) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Stifel with analyst Michael Baudendistel saying shares of truck equipment companies have been under pressure primarily on concerns that the cycle is at a peak. 3. Wynn Resorts (WYNN) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Stifel with analyst Steven Wieczynski saying he believes the pullback in the stock recently has created a compelling opportunity. 4. KB Home (KBH) upgraded to Positive from Neutral at Susquehanna with analyst Jack Micenko citing a "clear and visible path" to further gross margin expansion and re-acceleration in community count and order growth well into 2019 for the upgrade, adding that underlying housing trends are strong in many of the markets in which the company currently operates despite "cautious" macro sentiment. 5. Quest Diagnostics (DGX) upgraded to Outperform from In Line at Evercore ISI with analyst Ross Muken saying the company will likely be the beneficiary of improved volumes, stable pricing, heightened M&A, and fund flows amid the heightened volatility within the Rx supply chain.

Seaport Research initiated coverage of Wynn Resorts with a Neutral rating and no price target. The firm initiated coverage on the global casinos and gaming industry with its initial work focused on the three global U.S. casino operators and the six operators in Macau. The group has generally underperformed the broader market even while fundamentals in Macau continue ramp up strongly following three years of COVID shutdowns and 2024 is set to deliver positive growth in revenue and profitability, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says there are headwinds for the U.S. casino industry due to uncertainty around the economic slowdown. It expects Macau to deliver strong results in 2024 and into 2025, while the U.S. industry will potentially see some headwinds that could limit growth relative to last year. However, the longer term secular prospects for both Asia and the U.S. look strong, says Seaport. Its top pick on valuation is Melco Resorts & Entertainment (MLCO). Its top pick overall based on risk/reward and fundamental outlook is Las Vegas Sands (LVS).

JPMorgan lowered the firm's price target on CarMax to $55 from $60 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares following the fiscal Q4 report. The results showed no organic growth as well as reduced margins, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes the recent stretch of CarMax results warrants a broader debate on structural aspects like market share and unit economics in the near- to medium-term to provide comfort around the company's long-term earnings potential.
