Abstract: In this study, we compare the profitability of the investment recommendations of analysts listed in four different star rankings: Institutional Investor magazine, StarMine’s “Top Earnings Estimators” and “Top Stock Pickers” and The Wall Street Journal. We document that the highest average monthly abnormal return of holding a long-short portfolio, 1.58 percent, is obtained by following the recommendations of the group of star sell-side analysts rated by The Wall Street Journal during the period from 2003-2013. The results indicate that the choice of analyst ranking is economically important in making investment decisions.
