Shares of Gaylord Entertainment (Ticker: GET) are bucking the market Monday morning thanks to an upgrade from Wells Fargo analyst Jeff Donnelly. In hiking his rating to 'outperform' from 'market perform' and lifting his target price range into the mid-$40s, Donnelly says shareholders are on track to make more than 30 percent from today if the company's planned sale of its main brand and hotel management rights to Marriott goes through.

Of course, that's a bigger if these days than it was in late May.
