Top Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades: Enphase, Goldman Sachs, InterMune, Melco Crown, SunEdison and More

Stocks were firm on Tuesday after the S&P 500 hit 2,000 for the first time this week. Investors remain opportunistic for value and individual overlooked stocks. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of research reports each morning for new ideas for our readers. Some of the analyst reports cover stocks to buy, while some research reports cover stocks to sell or stocks to avoid.

These are this Tuesday’s top analyst upgrades and downgrades from 24/7 Wall St.

ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT) was raised to Buy from Sell at UBS.

Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ARCO) was downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) was started as Buy with a $33 price target at Stifel.
