Broker research is an important consideration in the strategies of many investors. Reading up on what the experts think - and examining whether they believe a share is a 'buy', 'hold' or 'sell' - can be very useful. For investors, these kinds of recommendations can be a useful consideration - especially when you listen to the consensus view of all the analysts that cover a stock.

Take Alibaba Holding (NYQ:BABA) as an example. Shares in the company have risen by 5.24% over the past month and they are currently trading at 241.89. But what do the analysts that cover the company think?
