What does it mean in the stock market when they say a stock has been upgraded from neutral to overweight???
Reger gave you the definition of what it would mean if the information was reliable.
United tells you of some of the pitfalls of believing this stuff at face value. As you watch the market more over time, you´ll see which firms and which analysts' statements like these actually carry weight vs. those which the market laughs off.
Funny terms, but to put it simply, they now are leaning toward buying it. ;-)
Hope that helps!

You do have to read between the lines as far as stock recommendations. Some times they are valid, other times, they are way off base. Some analysts can't find their hinny with their hand.
Neutral probably does not mean neutral, and overweight does necessarily mean what it says. What you are seeing with that change is an upgrade or more positive movement in the recommendation. You really have to study as much as you can to figure out whether than analyst is right or wrong.

The brokerage firm did a review of the company's performance and estimated the future outlook for the company in question. The concensus of opinion went from "I don't know what to tell investors" to "we see some potential here. You should consider buying." It is not a ringing recommendation.

That analysts have improved its rating.
Be aware that many analysts state 5 buy or overweight signals for each sell signal.
So be careful, dig deeper into its info.

I would guess it means that it needs to go on a diet before it's healthy again.
