Craig-Hallum analyst George Sutton upgraded Synacor (SYNC) to Buy from Hold with a $2.00 price target after the company said it has started discussions to wind-down its portal services with AT&T (T). In a research note to investors, Sutton says views this move this as the removal of the largest headwind facing the stock and believes investors will be able to fully recognize the remaining value of the software and advertising segments, which are reflected in his updated FY20 estimate of $100M.

Scotiabank raised the firm's price target on AT&T to $22.50 from $22 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The companies continued execution of simplifying and streamlining operations continues to bear fruit, the analyst tells investors. While the wireless market remains competitive, reduced handset subsidies and positive pricing actions are leading to improved overall profitability metrics, the firm adds.
