Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Roku (ROKU) upgraded to Outperform from Neutral at Macquarie with analyst Tim Nollen saying the shift to connected television viewing that has been underway in the U.S. for the past few years will follow internationally in the coming years. 2. Chipotle (CMG) upgraded to Hold from Underperform at Gordon Haskett with analyst Jeff Farmer saying the company's sales momentum makes the bear thesis on shares "increasingly untenable." 3. Sleep Number (SNBR) upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Raymond James with analyst Bobby Griffin saying Sleep Number's pullback over the last few months creates a more favorable risk/reward setup heading into Q3 earnings and adds that he continues to have a favorable view of the company's business model and product offering, particularly as consumers focus on health and wellness. 4. American Outdoor Brands (AOBC) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Craig-Hallum with analyst Steven Dyer saying he believes valuation is "extremely attractive" and thinks there is a compelling near-term opportunity with potential catalysts upcoming even though he continues to have concerns about a potential longer-term secular decline in firearms. 5. Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) upgraded to Market Perform from Underperform at Keefe Bruyette. This list is just a portion of The Fly's full analyst coverage.

Raymond James analyst Brian Vaccaro raised the firm's price target on Chipotle (CMG) to $3,300 from $3,200 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm maintains a selective stance towards its restaurant coverage universe as industry sales have underwhelmed in recent months, causing Raymond James to increasingly favor stocks it view as having "idiosyncratic factors trading at attractive valuations," such as Brinker (EAT), Shake Shack (SHAK), First Watch (FWRG) and Bloomin' Brands (BLMN), the analyst tells investors in a group earnings preview note.
