Investors often rely on recommendations from Wall Street analysts before making a buy, sell or hold decision on a stock. While media reports of rating changes by these analysts employed (or selling) at brokerage firms often influence a stock’s price, do they really matter?
Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how you can use them to your advantage, let’s see what these Wall Street heavyweights think oracle (ORCL).
Oracle currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.48 on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) from 44 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.48 is roughly between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 44 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 34 are Strong Buy and one is Buy. “Strong Buy” and “Buy” account for 77.3% and 2.3% of all recommendations, respectively.
