Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. PepsiCo (PEP) upgraded to Neutral from Sell at Goldman Sachs with analyst Judy Hong citing its "strong" Q1 results that saw organic revenue accelerate to 5% and gross margins top expectations. 2. J.M. Smucker (SJM) upgraded to Equal Weight from Underweight at Morgan Stanley with analyst Pamela Kaufman saying she believes the company's reinvestment strategy will drive improved topline momentum across its key segments and should allow the company to return to positive organic growth in FY20. 3. Venator Materials (VNTR) upgraded to Outperform from Sector Perform at RBC Capital with analyst Arun Viswanathan saying he believes that the titanium dioxide "cycle is turning", with destocking activity nearing completion amid improving global demand and pricing. 4. Ecolab (ECL) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Nomura Instinet with analyst Dan Dolev saying with the problematic energy business soon to be spun-off, Ecolab's "recession resistant qualities should stand out, warranting a significant premium to peers." 5.
