Analyst upgrades refer to the reassessment of a stock or security by financial analysts, in which the analyst raises the rating or recommendation for that stock. This often means that the analyst expects the stock’s price to increase or predicts better performance than previously anticipated. Upgrades can be based on a variety of factors including improved company fundamentals, positive industry trends, or significant changes in the macroeconomic environment. When an analyst upgrades a stock, they may also adjust their price target for the stock, reflecting their revised expectations of its future performance.
