While Wall Street analysts maintain a bullish average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.56 for Astrazeneca with 17 Strong Buy ratings, the Zacks Rank system assigns the stock a Strong Sell rating (#5). This contradiction stems from a 10.3% decline in consensus earnings estimates over the past month to $9.16, indicating analyst pessimism about the company's earnings prospects. The article cautions investors against relying solely on brokerage recommendations, which often exhibit positive bias, and suggests the Zacks Rank's focus on earnings estimate revisions is a more reliable predictor of near-term stock performance.
