24/7 Wall St.

Stocks keep challenging all-time highs by a marginal amount each day, and the markets were indicated to open marginally higher on Wednesday. Despite high valuations for the market as a whole, investors are still looking for ways to make money. This may be from dividends, overlooked opportunities, value stocks and more. The reality is that investors keep proving that they will buy stocks on every pullback.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each morning of the week. The goal is to find new investing and trading ideas for its readers. Some analyst reports cover stocks to buy. Other reports feature stocks to sell or avoid.

These are the top analyst upgrades, downgrades and initiations seen on Wednesday morning:
