Jefferies upgraded Grocery Outlet (GO) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $18, up from $13.

The firm says Grocery Outlet has been plagued by enterprise-wide technology issues that limited visibility and hindered numbers, but with new management, improving operations, and “encouraging” recent data, it sees upside potential.
