Stocks were indicated to open higher on Thursday after Wednesday’s sell-off. The markets remain close to all-time highs, and the one theme that has ruled for over half of the eight-year bull market is that investors keep finding new reasons to buy stocks after every sell-off. Many investors are also on the hunt for new investing and trading ideas to generate gains and income.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week to find new investing and trading ideas for our readers. Some of the top analyst reports cover stocks to buy, but some calls cover stocks to sell or to avoid.

Additional color and commentary has been added on most of the daily analyst calls. Consensus analyst price target data are from the Thomson Reuters sell-side research service.

These were the top analyst upgrades, downgrades and other research calls from Thursday, August 24, 2017.
