Two crossed lines that form an 'X'.

What's more, they found that robo-analysts collectively produce a more balanced distribution of buy, hold, and sell recommendations than do human analysts, and are less likely to rely on companies' periodic earnings reports when carrying out their analysis. For one thing, robo-analysts don't appear to outperform human analysts when it comes to the other side of the equation: sell recommendations. The Indiana study found "no evidence" to indicate that robo-analysts' sell recommendations are incrementally more profitable than those of human analysts.
