Fly Intel: Today's top analyst calls on Wall Street

Check out today's top analyst calls from around Wall Street, compiled by The Fly. JEFFERIES UPS DISCOVERY TO BUY: Jefferies analyst John Janedis upgraded Discovery (DISCA) to Buy from Hold and raised his price target for shares to $34 from $26, telling investors he sees "several" opportunities that could increase Discovery's free cash flow, including stronger U.S. distribution growth, upside to realized synergies and the potential for a re-introduction of a stock repurchase plan earlier than anticipated. Janedis said he believes the market is under-appreciating Discovery's relative stability and free cash flow generation. Discovery shares were higher by 3.4% in late morning trading. BOFA RAISES APPLE PRICE TARGET TO $250: BofA Merrill Lynch analyst Wamsi Mohan said his analysis of third-party data indicates that the relative contribution from games to App Store revenue is coming down and he views this diversifying away from gaming as bullish for Apple's (AAPL) Services business. The strong growth rate of non-gaming categories gives him increased confidence in the sustainability of strong App Store sales, leading the analyst to raise his Services revenue estimate and increase his price target on Apple shares to $250 from $230 with a Buy rating on the name. IMPERIAL STARTS MSG AT OUTPERFORM: Imperial Capital analyst David Miller initiated shares of Madison Square Garden (MSG) with an Outperform rating and $372 price target. Miller believes there is still "measurable upside" to full intrinsic value on a sum-of-the-parts basis. In addition, post the split-off from MSG Networks (MSGN) in October 2015, investors no longer have to worry about cord-cutting or any other secular concern affecting linear cable networks. Rather, MSG is focused completely on the "live" experience, with flagship assets that include the NY Knicks, the NY Rangers, and the real estate associated with iconic arenas such as the Forum in Los Angeles, Radio City Music Hall, the Chicago Theater, and the Garden itself. MORGAN STANLEY GOES RESTRICTED ON TESLA: Morgan Stanley is now restricted in terms of rating Tesla (TSLA), on which the firm previously had an Equal Weight rating. The Fly notes that on August 15, Goldman Sachs went to Not Rated on Tesla, with analyst David Tamberrino stating that the change was due to Goldman "acting as a financial advisor in connection with a matter that is fundamental to the reasonable analysis of the rating and price target for this stock." It may be that a similar situation is why Morgan Stanley is restricted in covering Tesla, though that has not been confirmed by the bank.
