These ratings reflect renewed optimism about company fundamentals, growth prospects, and near-term catalysts.

Why These Analyst Upgrades Matter

‍

Upgrades like these can drive price action, attract institutional flow, and signal a shift in market sentiment. While not every upgrade results in a rally, those with strong price targets and rating reversals—especially in beaten-down names—can often precede significant upside moves.
