Finnhub Analyst Recommendation Trends

Choose this endpoint when you need quantitative analyst consensus data (buy/hold/sell counts) for a specific stock, especially when tracking how Wall Street sentiment has shifted over recent periods. It is ideal for portfolio monitoring, pre-trade research, or building dashboards that compare analyst sentiment across multiple equities. Prefer this over price-based endpoints when the question is about professional analyst opinion rather than market price movement.
