When it comes to looking for stock market investment ideas, broker recommendations can be a useful place to start. These city experts tend to know the companies they cover inside-out, so their views can be valuable. They're even more valuable when you take into account the overall view of all the analysts that cover a stock.

Take Standard Chartered (LON:STAN) as an example. Shares in the company have risen by 1.70% over the past month and they are currently trading at 514.6p. But what do the analysts that cover the company think?

Based on the broker 'consensus', there could be reasons to believe that the positive recent trend will continue. In terms of trading recommendations, Standard Chartered currently has:

  • 4 Buy recommendations
  • 6 Hold recommendations
  • 1 Sell recommendations

This suggests that analysts are generally upbeat about the outlook.

At its current price of 514.6p, shares in Standard Chartered are trading at a discount of -12.8% to its 52 week high price. The 1-year performance of the shares has been 8.34%.
