How Google, Microsoft And Netflix Are Fueling Cannabis Legalization With Millions In Donations

<p>When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock&#39;s price, but are they really important?</p>
<p>Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let&#39;s see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about <strong>Arista Networks</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anet#NYSE">ANET</a>).</p>
<p>Arista Networks currently has an average brokerage recommendation of 1.67, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 23 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.67 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.</p>
<p>Of the 23 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 15 are Strong Buy and two are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 65.2% and 8.7% of all recommendations.</p>
<h2>Brokerage Recommendation Trends for ANET</h2>
<p><img alt="Broker Rating Breakdown Chart for ANET" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/yesopchart/brokerage_bar/ANET_10012024.png" style="width:100%" title="" /><br />
While the ABR calls for buying Arista Networks, it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential.</p>
<p>Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five &quot;Strong Buy&quot; recommendations for every &quot;Strong Sell&quot; recommendation.</p>
<p>In other words, their interests aren&#39;t always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock&#39;s price movement.</p>
<p>Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock&#39;s price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.</p>
<h2>ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks Rank</h2>
<p>Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1-5, they are different measures altogether.</p>
<p>The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.</p>
<p>It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers&#39; vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.</p>
<p>In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.</p>
<p>In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.</p>
<p>There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.</p>
<h2>Is ANET a Good Investment?</h2>
<p>In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Arista Networks, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $8.24.</p>
<p>Analysts&#39; steady views regarding the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.</p>
<p>The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Arista Networks.</p>
<p>It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Arista Networks.</p>

Shares of companies within the broader technology sector are trading higher amid overall market strength following Wednesday's Fed rate cut.

<p><strong>Nokia Corporation</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nok#NYSE">NOK</a>) recently inked an agreement with iSAT Africa for an undisclosed amount to enhance broadband connectivity across rural areas in Liberia. The three-year deal spanning more than 200 sites in the West African country aims to bridge the digital divide by providing a reliable, affordable and easily accessible network to underserved rural communities.</p>
<h2>How NOK Likely Secured the Deal</h2>
<p>Nokia is well-positioned for the ongoing technology cycle, given the strength of its end-to-end portfolio. Its installed base of high-capacity AirScale products, which enables customers to upgrade to 5G quickly, is growing fast. It is driving the transition of global enterprises into smart virtual networks by creating a single network for all services, converging mobile and fixed broadband, IP routing and optical networks with the software and services to manage them. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, it is transforming the way people and things communicate and connect.</p>
<p>The company aims to create new business and licensing opportunities in the consumer ecosystem. It facilitates customers to move away from an economy-of-scale network operating model to demand-driven operations by offering easy programmability and flexible automation required to support dynamic operations, reduce complexity and improve efficiency. It seeks to expand its business into targeted, high-growth and high-margin vertical markets to address growth opportunities beyond its traditional primary markets.</p>
<h2>What This Collaboration Brings on the Table</h2>
<p>Nokia&#39;s partnership with this integrated communications services provider that specializes in broadcasting &amp; rural connectivity in Africa and the Middle East will seek to drive socio-economic development in the remote areas of Liberia. Per the deal, Nokia will deploy its AirScale radio portfolio along with MantaRay Network Management solutions for effective monitoring and management capabilities to address critical challenges such as limited coverage and the wide digital divide in rural regions.</p>
<h2>Will NOK Stock Benefit?</h2>
<p>Nokia has emerged as one of the leading players in the development of advanced 5G technology and is at the forefront of extending 5G use cases in various industries. It has laid a strong foundation of innovation through substantial infrastructure investments. This has led to the establishment of an impressive portfolio comprising approximately 20,000 patent families, including more than 6,000 patent families that are deemed crucial to 5G technology.</p>
<p>The collaboration with iSAT Africa is likely to propel the stock on incremental revenue generation and inducement of similar deals from other carriers in the future. The agreement is also expected to strengthen Nokia&#39;s position as a leading telecommunications equipment provider in the region.</p>
<p>The stock has gained 16.7% over the past six months compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 12.9%.</p>

The company recently reported that it has <strong>2.47 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 0.96% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Arista Networks's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.45%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
