Hasbro (HAS) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at MKM Partners with analyst Eric Handler saying investors should look beyond the 2018 industry issues and anticipate a "material fundamental recovery" in the next two years thanks to the company's large toy line additions and expected margin expansion. 3. Incyte (INCY) upgraded to Outperform from Sector Perform at RBC Capital with analyst Brian Abrahams citing the company's "unique situation" position as a "revenue-generating, high-opex, broad-pipeline mid-cap, which should enable it to pull multiple levers" to unlock value and produce shareholder interest. 4.

Papa John's (PZZA) upgraded to Hold from Sell at Stifel with analyst Chris O'Cull saying he believes near-term expectations have been reset to a reasonable level following the company's disappointing Q2 results and report of "lackluster" same-store sales in Q3 to-date.
