They’ll look at just enough to make a short-term thesis on whether or not it’s a good idea to buy penny stocks in certain circumstances.
One of the most important things to remember about analysts is that they tend to take a longer-term approach to certain penny stocks. While this isn’t a bad thing, it should be kept in the back of your head. Furthermore, depending on the company some analyst ratings can be months or even years old.
Since they were the “most recent,” they’ll likely still show up on most financial sites as the “current rating”. Needless to say, it isn’t a bad idea to research what analysts have to say about certain companies. If anything, it can point you in the right direction of finding the info you might not have thought of yet. Do all penny stocks have analysts covering them, no.
