Market Influence
User:PirateCaptain I have tried checking whether the analyst recommendations caused any market movement(using your recommended style and others), but the results are not clear. This is probably due to the fact the stock usually react to the recommendations for a short while before being driven by other news or general market movement. I think the best way to establish the market influence of those analysts is to observe the market movement immediately the recommendation is published. I would thus suggest that we wait for them to make a recommendation and note down the market reaction. Over time, we will be able to identify which analysts are more influential. But I think for companies such as Meta and Alphabet, it is possible to find out the past market movement as companies such as seeking alpha, investing.com and yahoo finance usually indicate it.
I have added a link to an article( describing how to judge the analyst recommendations) to the Guideline:Analysts--Aron (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Aron For how many analyst did you try to check? In the past company stocks often jumped or declined relatively drastically (5+%) after the recommendation of widely followed analysts. On the day of the recommendation there have been news articles titled something like "Twitter jumps after buy recommendation from xy") Therefore i think it should be possible finding clues how much a stock is reacting to analyst judgements based on past data. The most meaningful timeframe in most cases is just the day when the analyst recommendation was issued. Overall the tasks is low prio and not of particular importance of now and i agree that it is a good practice writing down market reactions after analyst recommendations as they come in. Nevertheless i think we should try to determine influential analyst especially for smaller companies because they move more on recommendations. One place to start and double checking on analysts could be Upwork. What do you mean with your last sentence? --PirateCaptain (talk) 17:12, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
User:PirateCaptain Checked all the analysts covering Volkswagen and some covering Meta. You are right, sometimes there are headlines like "Twitter jumps after buy recommendation from xy" but that mostly happens for large companies such as Meta. You are also right when it comes to small companies. Yesterday Sixt stock rose 6% after Jefferies analyst gave it a buy rating. For now, I will check the market influence of analysts covering small companies and if I can't find anything, I will wait until the analyst gives a recommendaton.
The last sentence is just an article that can help new researchers to learn how to judge analysts recommendations.--Aron (talk) 18:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
Aron Ok sounds goods. Make sure to link the article to the 6% in Sixt sources so people easily know why we came to that judgement. Everytime a new recommendation comes out that moves the market we can note the market move in % next to the last movement in the same column + have the article linked). To illustrate that i included an example under Sixt for Constantin Heese. Delete the example again after you've read it --PirateCaptain (talk) 06:49, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
User:PirateCaptain Okay, noted.--Aron (talk) 09:55, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
