Thursday’s market sell-off was a bloodbath, the worst trading day since the Black Monday crash of 1987, and it felt almost as bad as that day even though the percentage losses were only about half of the crash day. Investors just saw the bull market meet its formal end, and the Dow Jones industrial average was approaching a 30% correction from last month’s all-time highs.

Here is how the massive drop of March 12 looked compared with the real Black Monday crash of 1987.

While the panic was big, many investors are maintaining a level head that the coronavirus ultimately will pass, as most things eventually do. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day to find new ideas for investors and traders. Some calls cover stocks to buy, others cover stocks to sell or avoid. Many analysts have so far maintained positive ratings on the top companies, but price targets are starting to come down and should be coming down much more in the coming days to reflect the new lower prices.

Investors should always use research calls as just one tool rather than as a sole source for an investment decision. We have included brief data on each call, and consensus target prices are from Refinitiv.

These are the top analyst calls for Friday, March 13, 2020.
