On The Fly: Top five analyst upgrades

Catch up on today's top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Urban Outfitters (URBN) upgraded to Overweight from Neutral at JPMorgan with analyst Matthew Boss saying same-store sales at the company's three concepts turned positive in the third quarter for the first time since the first half of 2015. 2. Deere (DE) upgraded to Outperform from Neutral at Baird with analyst Mig Dobre noting he recently downgraded the shares on concerns another record corn crop would pressure prices and push out or moderate the recovery in North American agricultural equipment demand. He acknowledged those fears did not materialize as equipment demand in October was very strong with ag dealers pointing to emerging replacement demand in spite of low crop prices. Dobre raised his price target to $155 from $140 on Deere shares. 3. Cray (CRAY) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Craig-Hallum with analyst Chad Bennett saying he believes 2017 is likely to be the fundamental bottom in the HPC market and Cray is on the cusp of a new HPC product cycle that will last the next 4-5 years. 4. T-Mobile (TMUS) upgraded to Buy from Hold at HSBC with analyst Sunil Rajgopal saying the stock continues to outperform competitors with high single-digit growth in mobile service revenues and EBITDA. 5. Copa Holdings (CPA) upgraded to Overweight from Neutral at JPMorgan with analyst Fernando Abdalla saying the demand outlook for 2018 is promising, while management remains engaged in reducing operating costs.
