Which stocks do analysts recommend?
Analyst recommendations

Analyst recommendations are key for gauging what the market as a whole thinks of a stock. The above screenshot brings together a number of essential observations. It tells you the extent to which city analysts are bullish or bearish, the potential 12-month return and how the current share price compares to the average target price. In the above example, brokers are neutral-to-bullish on Persimmon shares. However, the current share price is actually above the average 12-month target price. Could upgrades be on the way?
Most importantly, these analysts are not revising their ratings and target prices every five seconds! In similar vein, traders need not be monitoring their positions constantly, or even looking for ‘the optimum entry point,’ if everything is set up beforehand.
Now, where can one find the right platform and the right product?
