Utilities and Biotech sectors lead the charge with numerous new "Strong Buy" ratings over the past three days. Notable large-cap utilities like AEP ($61.57B market cap), DTE ($29.76B market cap), and NEE ($170.27B market cap) were initiated as Strong Buys on Monday, signaling robust sentiment. Biotech also saw strong analyst conviction for AZTA, IPHA, and INSM. Further large-cap upgrades for MDLZ ($77.91B market cap), VRSK ($32.83B market cap), and SWKS ($10.99B market cap) suggest broad market strength. However, luxury goods giant PPRUY ($44.48B market cap) was downgraded to Strong Sell, warranting caution.
