Stocks were looking for a slightly positive opening on Wednesday, an effort to unseat recent market weakness. The one trend that is now nearly four years old is that investors have lined up after each and every sell-off to buy their favorite stocks. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each morning to find new ideas for traders and investors.

These are this Wednesday’s top analyst upgrades, downgrades and initiations.
Ambarella Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA) was maintained as Outperform and the price target was raised to $96.00 from $78.00 (versus a $87.20 close) at Pacific Crest. This call is based on two issues: solid GoPro orders and also the possibility that Qualcomm might be interested in buying the company. Shares were up over 4% at $87.20 on Tuesday, and the consensus price target is near $73.50.
eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY) was started as Buy with a price target of $68 (versus a $58.73 close) at Topeka Capital Markets.

TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO) was indicated higher after beating earnings and making an international acquisition.
