MOST NOTEWORTHY: Tesoro, Yingli Green Energy and Ensco were today's noteworthy upgrades:
- Deutsche Bank upgraded shares of Tesoro (NYSE: TSO) to Hold from Sell as they believe bankruptcy is not a "major danger" after meeting with management and that recent raise in indebtedness was due to rising working capital requirements combined with negative gasoline cracks.
- Citigroup raised Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE) to Buy from Hold following the recent weakness to reflect the company's margin improvement and better visibility into 2009.
- Calyon upgraded shares of Ensco (NYSE: ESV) to Add from Neutral as they believe the company's increasing exposure to the deepwater market will drive earnings growth. The firm raised their target to $85 from $74.
