Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Morgan Stanley (MS) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Deutsche Bank with analyst Matt O'Connor citing the recent 10% pullback in the shares and his optimism for capital markets beyond the first quarter. 2. Capital One (COF) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Nomura with analyst Bill Carcache saying most card issuers have reduced their sub-prime exposure since 2011, but Capital One has increased its subprime mix by 500 bps and is positioned to reap the rewards. Carcache expects Capital One's net income and earning to inflect in 2017 and 2018 with healthy high-single-digit card loan growth continuing, while the need to build reserves abates. The analyst adds, even with no Trump tax or regulatory policy tailwinds, Capital One should put up double-digit earnings growth in 2017 and 2018. 3. Ericsson (ERIC) upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Bernstein with analyst Pierre Ferragu saying the company's restructuring plan skews the risk/reward to the upside. 4. Chemours (CC) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Jefferies with analyst Laurence Alexander saying while the stock has rallied as a trade on cyclical leverage and litigation relief, structural improvements in TiO2 and fluoropolymers could bring further upside. 5. Vertex (VRTX) upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at BMO Capital. This list is just a portion of The Fly's full analyst coverage. To see The Fly's full Street Research coverage,
