Tal Liani upgraded Ericsson from Neutral to Buy and raised the price target from $10.40 to $11.40.

Ericsson’s 5G performance may be helped by two competitive forces going forward, the analyst said.
First, the U.S. pressure on Huawei may be positive for Ericsson, given that Huawei is Ericsson’s top competitor, he said.
Second, a potential merger between T-Mobile Us Inc (NASDAQ:TMUS) and Sprint Corp (NYSE:S) could accelerate 5G deployment. This could also trigger increased spectrum investments at AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), Liani said.
“We expect competition and spectrum availability to drive 5G deployments in other parts of the world, translating into a prolonged cycle, which is currently at its very early innings."
BofA sees potential upside to the Street's 2020 estimates for Ericsson.
