• Stifel upgrades Covenant Transportation Group, Inc. CVTI from Hold to Buy and raises price target from $34 to $35; Says co.’s operating ratio is forecast to improve throughout the year as truckload capacity remains tight and rates tick higher.

• KeyBanc maintains Overweight rating on Facebook, Inc. FB following Q1 results; Says co.’s opportunity to deliver upside to the Street's estimates remains compelling through pricing growth, incremental growth in areas like video and messaging.
• Baird upgrades Teradyne, Inc. TER from Neutral to Outperform and raises price target from $40 to $41, reversing previous downgrades. The firm said Wednesday’s sell-off provides buying opportunity given the company's proven share gain ability in test, wireless growth prospects and robotics.
