5 Stock Picks Last Week From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts
Mar 11, 2026 5:02 AM

U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 200 points during the session after the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Major indices also recorded gains last week, with the Dow adding 0.3% and the S&P 500 gaining 1.1%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq also jumped 1.5% last week.

Wall Street analysts make new stock picks on a daily basis. Unfortunately for investors, not all analysts have particularly impressive track records at predicting market movements. Even when it comes to one single stock, analyst ratings and price targets can vary widely, leaving investors confused about which analyst’s opinion to trust.

Benzinga’s Analyst Ratings API is a collection of the highest-quality stock ratings curated by the Benzinga news desk via direct partnerships with major sell-side banks. Benzinga displays overnight ratings changes on a daily basis three hours prior to the U.S. equity market opening. Data specialists at investment dashboard provider Toggle.ai recently uncovered that the analyst insights Benzinga Pro subscribers and Benzinga readers regularly receive can successfully be used as trading indicators to outperform the stock market.

Top Analyst Picks: Fortunately, any Benzinga reader can access the latest analyst ratings on the Analyst Stock Ratings page. One of the ways traders can sort through Benzinga’s extensive database of analyst ratings is by analyst accuracy.
