Stocks were indicated marginally lower and were still looking for direction Monday morning. Still, the S&P 500 was above 2,100 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was above 18,100 after Friday’s rally. The one trend that has remained in place for almost three years now is that investors unilaterally buy their favorite stocks after each and every pullback. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each morning to find new investment and trading ideas for its readers. Some of these analyst reports cover stocks to buy, while other reports cover stocks to sell or to avoid. These are this Monday’s top analyst upgrades and downgrades.

AK Steel Corp. (NYSE: AKS) was downgraded to Neutral from Outperform at Macquarie.

American Homes 4 Rent (NYSE: AMH) was raised to Overweight at Morgan Stanley.
