Top 10 Pre-Market Analyst Calls (AOC, AVAV, CMED, CC, DKS, FCX, INTC, MNI, ODP, DGX)

These aren’t the only analyst calls out there today, but these are the TOP 10 research notes that 24/7 Wall St. is looking at:

• Aon Corp. (AOC) raised to Buy at Goldman Sachs
• Aerovironment (AVAV) started as Buy at Sun Trust Robinson Humphrey.
• China Medtech (CMED) started as Outperform at Bear Stearns.
• Circuit City (CC) cut to Neutral from Overweight at J.P.Morgan….this actually goes down as the most worthless research call of the week (and maybe this month) as they have had an Outperform rating since December 21, 2006 when shares were over $19.00…congratulations!
• Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS) raised to Buy at Citigroup.
• Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) removed from Goldman Sachs Conviction Buy List.
• Intel (INTC) started as Neutral at Robert W. Baird.
• McClatchy (MNI) started as Underperform at Bear Stearns.
• Office Depot (ODP) raised to Neutral at Credit Suisse; downgraded to Peer Perform from Outperform at Bear Stearns.
• Quest Diagnostics (DGX) started as Sell at Goldman Sachs.
