Theoricaly that they hope the company will return to profitablily.
In practice, they know that the company will lose even more money soon and those who pay them want to liquidate their stock holding ASAP.

[Novice Investing]

Yes. Any company exists to make profit. Even if they make a loss now, they would want to turn profit sometime in the future. The analyst probably is looking into that possibility when putting the buy recommendation.
