Top 5 Upgrades: – JPMorgan upgraded American Express (AXP) to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $400, up from $328. The company trades at a slight premium to the group, but this is warranted given the defensive nature of its revenues, the analyst tells investors in a research note. – Truist upgraded Biogen (BIIB) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $235, up from $190, ahead of the Phase 2 BIIB080 data presentation at AAIC next week and the approaching Phase 3 pipeline readouts with litifilimab due in Q4. The firm’s “increasingly constructive” view on the outlook for Biogen shares is driven by expectations for the unveiling of differentiated, clinically meaningful Phase 2 data with Diranersen, and an attractive risk/reward. – Jefferies upgraded Shopify (SHOP) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $160, up from $140.
Third party data indicates Shopify’s fiscal Q2 results will beat consensus estimates, the analyst tells investors in a research note. – Morgan Stanley upgraded Keysight Technologies (KEYS) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $400, up from $350. The firm views Keysight as a play on AI investment and broadening architectures versus a play on a particular architecture. – Wells Fargo upgraded Humana (HUM) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $502, up from $227. The firm believes the moderating Medicare Advantage cost trend “requires a thesis refresh” for Humana.
