Like Amazon, these stocks have 100% buy ratings from analysts

All 45 sell-side analysts who cover Amazon.com rate the stock a “buy.” That is incredible, considering the shares trade for about 71 times the forward consensus earnings estimate, more than four times that of the benchmark S&P 500 Index.

Among the S&P 500 SPX, -0.22% a “perfect” list of sell-side ratings is a rarity. Only one company besides Amazon is rated “buy” or the equivalent by all analysts polled by FactSet: Marathon Petroleum MPC, -2.55% has top ratings among all 19 analysts covering the company. Its shares trade at a forward P/E ratio of only 10.7. Marathon was recently included in this list from Barron’s: “10 stocks with safe, generous dividends.

• Franklin Resources BEN, +0.62% The holding company of Franklin Templeton Investments is rated a “sell” or the equivalent by eight of 15 analysts polled by FactSet. The shares trade for 13.7 times the consensus forward earnings estimate. This is another recovery story so far in 2019, with the shares returning 20.5% after sliding 23% in 2018.

Don't buy individual stocks even with highest analyst buy ratings. Buy portfolios. Buy ETFs mirroring broad indices eg SPY, VT, ACWI. Analyst ratings subjective. Don't trust them! Trust God instead!
