S&P 500 buy ratings at high on valuations

Currently, 247 S&P 500 companies have more buy ratings than sells and holds, a record since Bloomberg began tracking these trends in 2000.

“The same securities analysts warning of the first decline in quarterly earnings since 2009 are also more bullish than ever on U.S. stocks,” Business Week. In total, 247 Standard & Poor’s 500 companies have more buy ratings than sells and holds — a record since Bloomberg began tracking such data in 2000. “Bullish recommendations have been expanding even as Wall Street firms cut their forecast for second-quarter net income in the U.S. to a decrease of 1.8 percent from a gain of 2 percent in April,” the publication adds.
