These are the top analyst calls of upgrades, downgrades and initiations we have seen from Wall St. research calls this Monday morning.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) reiterated Buy with $264 target at BofA/ML.

Annie’s Inc. (NYSE: BNNY) reinstated as Outperform with $48 target at Credit Suisse.

Autodesk Corp. (NASDAQ: ADSK) cut to Hold at Argus.

Best Buy Co. (NYSE: BBY) named Bear of the Day at Zacks.

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) cut to Hold at Deutsche Bank.

Brocade Communications Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: BRCD) maintained Buy with $7 target at BofA/ML.

Eli Lilly Co. (NYSE: LLY) raised to Outperform with $53 target at Credit Suisse.

Fidelity National Financial (NYSE: FNF) named Value Stock of the Day at Zacks.

Gentiva Health Services Inc. (NASDAQ: GTIV) named Bull of the Day at Zacks.

Treehouse Foods Inc. (NYSE: THS) raised to Buy at Citigroup.

As you can see, there are fewer calls than on most trading days. With this being the week ahead of Labor Day, we would expect that trend to remain in place between now and next Tuesday.
