Agilent upgraded to neutral by Bank of America (A)

By Steve Goldstein
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Agilent Technologies (A) was upgraded to neutral from sell by Bank of America, with the broker citing revised earnings estimates for operating margin improvements in core businesses. Its new price target is $33, up from $25.80. Agilent closed Wednesday trade at $34.50.

Agilent was downgraded from Neutral to Sell by BofA on Nov 12, 2004, just about a year ago.

To be fair, Thomas Weisel, Merrill lynch and JP Morgan also downgraded Agilent in 2004 and they have not yet upgraded it!

Date Research Firm Action From To
7-Feb-05 Robert W. Baird Upgrade Neutral to Outperform
12-Nov-04 JP Morgan Downgrade Overweight to Neutral
12-Nov-04 Banc of America Sec Downgrade Neutral to Sell
12-Nov-04 Thomas Weisel Downgrade Outperform to Peer Perform
5-Oct-04 Needham & Co Initiated Buy
12-Jul-04 Merrill Lynch Downgrade Buy to Neutral

Congratulations to Needham and Robert Baird, the ones that captured the 50% gain from the lows.
