Analyst evaluation schedule

Hello everyone, I was just looking at a heatmap and saw a lot of the outlying issues (in %gain/loss) all had analyst upgrades/downgrades today.


Is there a set schedule for analysts evaluating sets of issues? I would like to know what the industry practice is, thanks.
 
here is a study i compiled about analyst's buy signals.

that is insightful! although biased toward buy signals only

my question is how did you know to look at analyst actions on 1-8-2011

instead of say... 1-10-2011?
