Thursday, April 11, 10:03 AM Goldman upgrades the Life Sciences Tools & Diagnostics sector to Attractive, but some individual names suffered as Mettler Toledo (MTD -2%) and Sigma-Aldrich (SIAL -1.1%) catch downgrades to Neutral from Buy. SIAL has "few levers to drive EBIT [as] long-term organic growth guidance of 4-6% is too high." Quest Diagnostics (DGX +3.5%) and LabCorp (LH +2%) are upgraded to Buy and Neutral respectively on the former's "untapped capital allocation potential and margin expansion" and the latter's ability to manage pricing pressure.

Friday, March 15, 7:34 PM If history is a guide, the markets may be due for a pullback, according to S&P Capital's Sam Stovall. Since World War II, Stovall says the median advance once the S&P hits its previous high after recovering from a bear market has been just 3%. But despite the ominous warning, there still may be some places to ride it all out. JPMorgan's chief U.S. equities strategist Tom Lee recently came up with 15 stocks that outperformed the S&P 500 in eight of the last 11 pullbacks since 2009: CAG, IBM, DIS, GPC, MMM, FISV, PAYX, PPG, SYY, SIAL, UNP, UTX, PX, L, and XRAY. 42 Comments [U.S. Economy]
