Turmoil amongst Euro Stoxx 50 companies may create opportunity

Quoted financial analysts, January 1, 2015 – October 6, 2015

New York, October 9, 2015. The auto industry has pushed the banking industry out of the analyst spotlight when it comes to the Euro Stoxx 50 according to new research from Media Tenor International.

“For most of this year, banks have dominated analyst attention,” says Racheline Maltese, a researcher for Media Tenor. “The recent VW scandal, however, has pushed banks to the sidelines and changed the nature of analyst statements quoted by the media. Focus on the future remains strong, but there’s little coverage of the past, which has often been a factor when it comes to the banks.”

Analysts were critical on VW and BMW, but they fared better than some other index members, including E.ON and Santander.  “There’s no industry that’s a clear winner or loser right now,” Maltese says. “Tone on the banks is split and criticism of the auto industry isn’t as bad as it could be. Analysts are clear things will get better – but not how much better or when. That creates a potential buying opportunity for those who are open to risk and able to hold troubled stocks long-term.”

This research examined all 42,545 analyst statements in eight opinion-leading business media January 1, 2015 – October 6, 2015
