Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Qualcomm (QCOM) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Mizuho with analyst Vijay Rakesh saying much of Qualcomm's 4G handset risk is "in the rear view mirror," and the company is positioned well for 5G ramps in 2020 and 2021. 2. Applied Materials (AMAT) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Nomura Instinet with analyst David Wong saying the copay last night reported sales for the October quarter that were above the original guidance midpoint, and guidance for the January 2020 quarter was meaningfully above consensus estimates. 3. GrubHub (GRUB) double upgraded to Overweight from Underweight at Barclays with analyst Deepak Mathivanan saying shares of GrubHub declined by 75% in 15 months given an "irrational" competitive landscape, "ill-timed" strategic investments, and poor execution. 4. BioCryst (BCRX) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at BofA/Merrill with analyst Tazeen Ahmad saying he has conducted doctor checks after the release of the ApeX-2 study results in hereditary angioedema earlier this year to determine whether his peak sales estimates for the HAE market for '7353 seemed reasonable. 5. Nvidia (NVDA) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Craig-Hallum with analyst Richard Shannon citing the company's "strong" Q3 results. This list is just a portion of The Fly's full analyst coverage.
