Analysts negative on FTSE 100 stocks going into Brexit vote

Quoted financial analysts, January 1, 2015 – June 16, 2016

New York, June 20, 2016. Quoted financial analysts have recently been highly critical of FTSE 100 stocks as well as investment in the U.K. due to a range of risk factors which have only been exacerbated by the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming vote on a possible Brexit, according to new research from Media Tenor International.

“For the FTSE 100 companies quoted financial analysts have highlighted a number of risk factors including financial performance, strategy, client relationships and management,” says Racheline Maltese, a researcher at Media Tenor. “This negativity, however, has been exacerbated by stock market uncertainty driven by the impending U.K. referendum on its continued participation in the E.U.”

Quoted financial analysts did not frame globalization as a way for FTSE 100 companies to improve their status as potential investments. Additionally, when all investment objects were considered, analysts were strongly negative on any activities taking place in the U.K. or the E.U.

This research examined all 81,759 analyst statements in eight opinion-leading business media January 1, 2015 – June 16, 2016.
