Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. ServiceNow (NOW) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Stifel with analyst Tom Roderick saying his partner checks were "decidedly positive" in contract to investor concerns about a lackluster Q3 bookings outlook, which has weighed on shares since the Q2 call on July 24. 2. Emerald Expositions Events (EEX) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Goldman Sachs with analyst Katherine Tait citing its 31% underperformance relative to the sector year-to-date, and added that it continues to be a "compelling take-out candidate, particularly considering other acquisitions in the sector in the last five years. 3. Public Storage (PSA) and Life Storage (LSI) upgraded to Neutral from Underperform at Baird. 4. On Deck Capital (ONDK) upgraded to Equal Weight from Underweight at Morgan Stanley with analyst James Faucette saying after a 57% decline in stock since the end of January, valuation is "more evenly" balancing its faster earnings growth with its relatively higher risk of incremental downward revisions. 5. RE/MAX Holdings (RMAX) and Redfin (RDFN) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Craig-Hallum. This list is just a portion of The Fly's full analyst coverage.

KeyBanc analyst Jackson Ader lowered the firm's price target on ServiceNow to $950 from $1,000 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes the quarter plainly did not beat guidance by enough to satisfy expectations, and it would include its expectations in that assessment as well. The headline numbers on revenue and margin aren't the problem; "it was the non-revenue top-line metrics that catch our eye," says KeyBanc. Current billings was an outright miss, but the firm understands that invoicing patterns and timing swing this around more so than getting ink on paper for contracted obligations. Still, not great.

UBS lowered the firm's price target on ServiceNow to $875 from $920 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. ServiceNow is still in rarified territory by growing more than 20% with 400 basis points of year over year margin expansion, but this print fell a bit short of expectations, the analyst tells investors in a research note. This print in a seasonally light 1Q quarter isn't likely to be a thesis-changer for most, UBS contends.
