Analyst action: Cracker Barrel, Healthcare Realty

Bryan Elliott at Raymond James has hiked his rating on shares of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store to 'market perform' as part of a broader industry upgrade. Still, Elliott has a number of other restaurant chains rated more highly than Lebanon-based Cracker Barrel (Ticker: CBRL), which has gained 27 percent so far this year. Healthcare Realty is richly valued and not worth getting into at this point, says Hilliard Lyons analyst Carol Kemple. In addition to starting coverage of the Nashville-based REIT (Ticker: HR) with a 'neutral' rating, Kemple points out its dividend should be higher.
