Stocks were indicated surprisingly higher after international markets recovered more than might have been expected. The trend that has been static for 4 years now is that investors want to buy stocks on weakness and pullbacks. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst reports each day of the week in order to find new investing and trading ideas for its readers. Some analyst reports cover stocks to buy, while other calls cover stocks to sell or stock to avoid.
These are this Wednesday’s top analyst upgrades, downgrades and initiations.
American Express Co. (NYSE: AXP) was started as Neutral and the former $76 price target was now put at $81.00 (versus $71.63 close) at Piper Jaffray. AmEx has a consensus analyst price target of $81.24 and a 52-week range of $70.21 to $94.89.
