Robinson to buy from hold Jefferies says the transport company has balance sheet optionality. 'We are upgrading CHRW to Buy following a recent HQ visit, which materially reinforced our conviction across three key dimensions: (1) a technology & productivity transformation that we believe is still in early innings, (2) a post- Montgomery regulatory environment that structurally favors scaled brokers, and (3) a balance sheet that positions CHRW as a natural consolidator" TD Cowen upgrades Ermenegildo Zegna to buy from hold TD Cowen says the luxury retailer is firing on all cylinders.

Wells Fargo reiterates Marvell as overweight Wells raised its price target ahead of earnings next week.

Maxim upgrades Gilead to buy from neutral Maxim says it sees more room for growth and that investors should buy the weakness.
