Insider Trades & Insider Trades Newsletter

We all like having inside information. But much of the time, what’s passed off as inside information, is just idle gossip. In other cases, we know that having inside information is really a way for an organization to profit from delivering what is viewed as premium content. Still, the basic idea behind inside information is that you are getting information that the general public does not have. Insider trading is the action of buying or selling (“trading”) a security based on material information that is not available to the public. Although generally assumed to be illegal, there are times when insider trading can be legal.

Analyst Ratings and Price Targets Overview

Terms like “Buy”, “Sell”, and “Hold” are synonymous with financial analysts’ reports, yet very few people have a clear understanding of what they are and the best way to use them for value generation in the stock market. The terms are usually the result of thorough investigations carried out by brokerage firms and analysts as they look to make it easy for investors to make informed decisions about investments. Analysts' ratings range from a simple buy, sell or hold to an equal-weight, overweight or outperform. Many brokerage firms rate a stock on a scale of one to five stars, with five being the highest rating. The ratings are assigned depending on the kind of earnings the company has reported or what it is expected to report as well as on valuations and stock price.

Question 18

Alerts, Ratings, Earnings

Earnings

Earnings reports are part of the legal requirements that publicly held companies must meet to disclose their company’s performance. These are typically issued quarterly and are part of what investors call the “earnings season”. These reports are a subset of a company’s 10-Q filing and contain items such as net income, earnings per share (EPS), earnings from continuing operations, and net revenue/sales. You will usually hear things about how the company performed relative to their top line and bottom line numbers. These numbers can be found directly in their earnings report.
