TipRanks use case

Let me explain how eToro's TipRanks is used on the platform。

First, you must identify the stocks you want to analyze。For example, select Apple Stock (AAPL), click Apple Stock, and then navigate to the "Research" tab of the right menu。

At the top of the Research tab you will find "Analyst Consensus and Target Price"。

Analyst Consensus and Target Price

Over the past three months, 35 analysts have unanimously said "moderate buy," with 71% recommending "buy," 20% recommending "hold," and 9% recommending "sell."。This data can be used as a general indicator of whether other analysts expect Apple's stock price to rise or fall.。

Scroll down to see analyst price targets on the eToro platform。In this case, most analysts predict Apple's stock price will reach 120.15美元。

In addition, you will see a maximum valuation of $150 and a minimum valuation of 66.60美元。Further down you will see the analyst's rating。

Analyst Ratings

In this table, the ratings of 3 bank or financial institution analysts and their recommendations and articles further support the investment in AAPL。eToro's TipRanks assigned a star rating to each analyst to determine their credibility.。

Hedge Fund Activities

The eToro platform shows prominent hedge fund firms such as Berkshire Hathaway and Goldman Sachs buying Apple shares。

As you can see from the above display, hedge funds have been buying Apple shares since the second quarter of 2018。Further down is hedge fund sentiment, suggesting that Apple stock received a positive view from 200 hedge funds in the second quarter of 2020。

eToro's TipRanks show that the value of Apple stock held by Warren Buffett remained unchanged at about $89 billion in the second quarter.。You'll also notice that Fisher Asset Management's Ken Fisher's holdings of Apple stock increased by 2%。Meanwhile, Apple shares held by PRIMECAP management firm Theofanis fell 2%。

Internal transactions

eToro's TipRanks can also show insider trading, i.e. stock trading by Apple employees。

eToro's TipRanks shows that in March 2020, many Apple employees bought shares because they felt the stock price was too low。This information provides more information for understanding potential stock price movements.。

Apple CEO and Director Timothy Cook sold shares twice on August 25, 2020, for a total of 1.$484.3 billion and 1.$317.6 billion。

结论

Judging from the above data provided by eToro's TipRanks, Apple stock is clearly attractive to buy。Leading analysts have set a price target of $150 per share, as evidenced by the activity of hedge funds to increase their holdings of Apple shares in recent months.。

As the reasons for Tim Cook's sale of shares remain to be clarified, the negative sentiment of insiders is not so important。
