NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- These four stocks were upgraded to buy from TheStreet Ratings on Friday: L-3 Communications(LLL), Kimco Realty(KIM), Ingersoll-Rand(IR) and CBRE Group(CBG).
L-3 Communications The intelligence and surveillance company raised its quarterly dividend on Tuesday to 50 cents a share from 45 cents.
