Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades Keep Coming: Corning, LeapFrog, Dean Foods and More

Many research reports were delayed in their normal times on Tuesday, likely due to a post-Labor Day drag as employees may have been taking their kids to school or simply coming in later than normal. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of Wall Street analyst research reports each and every morning to find fresh ideas for investors and traders, for stocks to buy and stocks to sell. We already released Tuesday’s normal analyst upgrades and downgrades, and these are some additional calls to peruse as well.

Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ) was raised to Buy from Neutral with a $65 price target at Goldman Sachs.

Shares are down about 0.5% at $18.05 as the implied upside is not that stellar for recent IPO coverage.
