Anheuser-Busch InBev — Shares of the beer maker gained 3.9% in premarket trading after Bank of America upgraded the company to buy from neutral and said it is approaching a margins inflection point.

Brinker International — The Chili’s parent climbed 4% after Stifel upgraded the stock to buy from hold. Stifel said Brinker’s strategic playbook appears similar to those of Olive Garden, Popeyes and KFC, which all saw successful turnarounds.

Editas Medicine — The genome editing company popped 9% in premarket trading following a Stifel upgrade to buy from hold. The firm said investors may be overly negative when looking at the total addressable market.

Ball — Shares added 1.7% in premarket trading after the aluminum-can maker was upgraded by Jeffries to buy from hold. The Wall Street firm said fundamentals have bottomed, free cash flow is accelerating and the business is resilient in a recession.

Bumble — The dating application stock climbed 4.1% after an upgrade to buy from Loop Capital Markets. The firm said the stock is “de-risked,” while Bumble’s strong cash balance and free cash flow generation will help protect its balance sheet.
