In theory, an analyst makes a call on a stock after researching the company's products and business model, and taking into account market conditions. If a company is expected to grow at a certain rate (based on the insight of this particular analyst) then using simple ratios, a target price is arrived at. I don't think some analysts have had a very good track record. I always wonder what benefit the analyst or his company derives from his call. It seems unlikely to me that these analysts are being altruistic with their advice. I am hoping that this thread won't become a place to pick on any particular company. The thread is here to throw some light on the quality of the Analysts, and their calls. Here's a link to an old post (from the Wi-Lan thread). Message 15539200 I couldn't find a current source for the article quoted in the post. It raises some of the questions that have raised my hackles. Cush
