Top Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades: Dendreon, Facebook, Google, Home Depot, Twitter, WisdomTree and More

Stocks were indicated to be marginally lower on Monday, but not so much that the direction of the day looked certain. What we saw in October, even during the sell-off and recovery to new highs, was that investors kept demonstrating an eagerness to buy value stocks and overlooked stocks when they find the opportunity. Each morning of the week, 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports on the hunt for new investment and trading ideas. Some analyst calls cover stocks to buy, and others cover stocks to sell or to avoid.

These are this Monday’s top analyst upgrades and downgrades featured by 24/7 Wall St.

Dendreon Corp. (NASDAQ: DNDN) was started as Neutral at Credit Suisse, although the firm have a target price of $1.50 (versus a $0.98 close), implying 50% upside, with no changes to the firm’s EPS estimates at this time.
