The rating is one firm's assessment, not a guarantee of a rebound. The upgrade gives Wall Street a familiar plot: first the stock gets cheaper, then the research note finds it more attractive. The business cannot rewrite its production plans in a morning, but an analyst can certainly revise a label before lunch.
