The more clients in any single stock, the more money fueling that issue's advance. Taking this theory further, if only two analysts have a "buy" recommendation on a stock, that is not nearly as bullish as 15 analysts with a "buy" rating simply because there is not nearly as much money, and therefore, momentum behind the issue. After reviewing all of the broker reports for more than 5,000 stocks, it is our opinion that any stock with a score of 20 or higher is deserving of a closer look. View the methodology.
