Four Stocks Most Analysts Love

live (public) 0.59% May 01

Alex Shek from Benzinga reviews four stocks that most analysts love. He makes an interesting point that when all analysts point to the same stock, they take little risk in putting their reputation on the line. If all of the analysts are positive and it is wrong, then they all move together. At the same time, a stock loved by almost all of its analysts also may be an obvious strong buying opportunity.

Here are four stocks analysts love:


Fossil (FOSL): A producer of watches and other fashion accessories

Apache (APA): An independent energy company
Google (GOOG): Is there anybody who doesn't know what Google does?
Apple (AAPL): Is Apple more or less famous than Google

I am a little bit queasy about this selection of stocks. I can understand that high end product companies can do well in tough times and energy is always of interest. Google and Apple are the focus of endless speculation but I think I would want to pick one not both and I have already said that I prefer ZAGG (ZAGG) to Apple because it produces accessories for smartphones -- i.e. iPhone and Android which gives greater diversification. I think that Google has a more sustainable advantage than Apple but I am sure that plenty will disagree with me.
