Stock analysts should carry pom-poms, for all the cheerleading they seem to do for the companies they cover. For S&P 500 companies, 49% of recommendations say “buy” and 44% say “hold.” Just 7% say “sell.” Perhaps analysts find S&P 500 companies or the broader stock market particularly attractive now, but the dearth of “sell” recommendations is nothing new. Maybe “hold,” as vaguely positive as it may sound (investors tend to hold stocks they like), has become an unlikely euphemism for “don’t bother to hold.” Whatever the case, analysts who go overtly negative usually seem to have good reason. Long-term studies show that “buy” recommendations have little predictive power, but that “sells” foretell underperformance more often than not. Analysts, you might say, can’t quite pick winners, but can sure spot stinkers. See original here: |
