A note out of Citi reveals that its analysts have upgraded this retail conglomerate's shares to a buy rating with a $29.00 price target. Citi is a fan of Premier Investments due to its belief that the Smiggle and fashion brands will be reopening winners.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs have retained their buy rating and $6.90 price target on this online travel agent's shares.
