Top 5 Upgrades:
- Evercore ISI upgraded Tractor Supply (TSCO) to Outperform from In Line with a price target of $65, up from $60. Traffic trends are rebounding, growth initiatives are gaining traction, and the stock’s valuation “now provides a compelling entry point,” the firm tells investors.
- Northland upgraded Qualys (QLYS) to Outperform from Market Perform with a price target of $162, up from $150, following “strong” Q3 revenue and EPS results. Piper Sandler also upgraded Qualys to Neutral from Underweight.
- Evercore ISI upgraded Yum! Brands (YUM) to Outperform from In Line with an $180 price target. The firm cites the company’s higher growth excluding Pizza Hut and the stock’s valuation for the upgrade.
- Raymond James upgraded O’Reilly Automotive (ORLY) to Outperform from Market Perform with a $105 price target. The company reported a “clean” Q3 report and the stock’s 14% pullback from the 52-week high brings an attractive entry point, the firm tells investors in a research note.
- Citi double upgraded IPG Photonics (IPGP) to Buy from Sell with a price target of $105, up from $68, following the Q3 report. The firm sees the company’s business recovery in Q3 continuing due to improving demand for welding and micromachining.

Top 5 Downgrades:
- Monness Crespi downgraded Pinterest (PINS) to Neutral from Buy and lowered the firm’s estimates after the company reported “uninspiring” Q3 results, issued a “muted” Q4 outlook, and hosted an “unsettling” conference call. Rosenblatt also downgraded Pinterest to Neutral from Buy with a $30 price target.
- Gordon Haskett downgraded Burlington Stores (BURL) to Hold from Buy with a $270 price target. The firm views the lack of a recovery in foot traffic recently at Burlington as disappointing.
- BofA downgraded Trex Company (TREX) to Underperform from Buy with a price target of $36, down from $67. Following “disappointing” Q3 earnings, 2025 guidance and 2026 margin commentary, the firm lowered its 2025 and 2026 EPS estimates by 13% and 30%, respectively. Deutsche Bank and William Blair also downgraded Trex Company to Neutral-equivalent ratings.
- JPMorgan downgraded Archer Daniels (ADM) to Underweight from Neutral with a price target of $59, down from $61. The company’s Q3 earnings beat estimates but guidance cut indicates its profit headwinds extend beyond a lack of clarity on U.S. biofuel policies and trade relations with China, the firm tells investors in a research note.
- Roth Capital downgraded Energy Fuels (UUUU) to Sell from Neutral with a price target of $11.50, up from $7.25. The firm believes the momentum around the company’s rare earth business potential has subsided.
Top 5 Initiations:
- Roth Capital resumed coverage of LeMaitre (LMT) with a Buy rating and $108 price target. The firm says the company’s product portfolio vascular surgeons combined with its direct sales force of 164 reps is driving organic sales growth of 15% with favorable operating leverage.
- Ladenburg initiated coverage of Draganfly (DPRO) with a Buy rating and $19 price target. The provider of UAV platforms for defense and commercial applications recently won a large Department of Defense contract to supply first person view drones to a brigade of the U.S. Army, notes the firm, which thinks this win is “significant and possibly repeatable,” highlighting that the company has a “robust pipeline beyond that win.”
- Oppenheimer initiated coverage of Docebo (DCBO) with an Outperform rating and $35 price target. The firm sees Docebo’s average revenue per user as a key growth driver with management prioritizing enterprise sales.
