KeyBanc upgraded Kratos Defense & Security (NASDAQ: KTOS) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $11.00.

KeyBanc analyst says, "Our decision to upgrade the stock is predicated on three key factors: 1) management's 2012 outlook was ahead of Street expectations and implies free cash flow has hit an inflection point; 2) sound execution coupled with business model transformation has improved visibility relative to peers; and 3) KTOS shares appear to be trading at a larger than warranted discount relative to its peers."
