Catch up on today’s top five analyst upgrades with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Urban Outfitters (URBN) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at DA Davidson with analyst John Morris saying the data showcase the company’s “green shoots in improving pricing architecture at the Anthropologie division with stronger pricing and lower markdown cadence at the Urban division.” 2. Intelsat (I) upgraded to Overweight from Neutral at JPMorgan with analyst Philip Cusick saying the stock has declined 28% year-to-date and 38% since February 27 when a “slew of headlines all but halted” the C-Band Alliance’s momentum in D.C. 3. e.l.f. Beauty (ELF) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Jefferies with analyst Stephanie Wissink saying he believes the company’s improved merchandising focus will drive a “meaningful reversal” in sales trends. 4. Enterprise Products (EPD) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Goldman Sachs with analyst Michael Lapides citing the company’s improving cash flow, exposure to key themes that include a “leading position in crude oil and NGL exports,” and its position as “one of the more integrated infrastructure portfolios within the sector,” extending its footprint “further downstream than most midstream companies.” 5. CommScope (COMM) upgraded to Strong Buy from Outperform at Raymond James with analyst Simon Leopold saying he believes the earnings accretion from the pending Arris (ARRS) acquisition is underappreciated and will provide at least 40% accretion versus management’s forecast for over 30% and analyst estimates of 25%-43%.
