JPMorgan upgraded GrafTech (EAF) to Neutral from Underweight without a price target after assuming coverage of the name. The shares have retreated 7% since the Q3 beat, presenting a more attractive entry point, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

It also believes GrafTech management has demonstrated its ability to drive material cost downs.
