JetBlue Airways has been upgraded from “hold” to “buy” by Soleil Securities, with the investment company forecasting that the increases in international fuel surcharges and the rise in domestic fares instituted by the company may more than offset the increase in fuel costs. Shares in JetBlue rose 5.1% on Friday, hitting an eight-week high.
