Catch up on today’s top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Coca-Cola (KO) upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Barclays with analyst Lauren Lieberman saying the company’s transformation should drive “sustainably better growth,” which should yield a higher valuation premium. 2. Valero (VLO) upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley with analyst Benny Wong saying recent underinvestment in refining, slippages in capacity additions and overdone concerns on long-term demand have set the stage for refining to enter a “golden age” through 2020. 3. ManTech (MANT) upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Wells Fargo with analyst Edward Caso citing valuation. 4. Celanese (CE) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at UBS with analyst John Roberts saying he believes the shares are undervalued and investors do not appreciate the stability and growth in the acetyls chain and the long-term potential in Engineered Materials. 5. Canadian National (CNI) upgraded to Buy from Underperform at BofA/Merrill with analyst Ken Hoexter saying service and volume growth rebounded faster than expected and will only be aided by an improving economy.
