24/7 Wall St.

Stocks were indicated higher on Monday, but by such a small margin we would count it as a nondirectional move. The markets are still very close to all-time highs, and investors keep demonstrating that they will buy their favorite stocks in every market sell-off. Those same investors also remain on the hunt for new ideas to generate income or gains.

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. Some of these analyst reports cover stocks to buy. Others feature stocks to sell or avoid.

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

Harley-Davidson Inc. (NYSE: HOG) was downgraded to Underperform from Neutral with a $40 price target (versus a $52.57 prior close) at Longbow Research. The shares have a 52-week trading range of $36.36 to $57.33, as well as a consensus analyst price target of $52.18.

HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) was reiterated as Buy at Argus, and the firm raised its price target to $19 from $16.
