It is Monday and 24/7 Wall St. has seen many new analyst research calls that have to be covered. The bull market is on, with stocks having hit new highs on Friday, but investors and traders keep hearing that this is now a stock picker’s market rather than a raging bull market. We review dozens of analyst research reports each morning of the week in order to find new ideas and hidden gems for our readers. Some analyst reports cover stocks to buy, but some of them cover stocks to sell or to avoid.

These are this Monday’s top Wall Street analyst upgrades, downgrades and initiations.
