Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

This stock has 30 days of quiet left (Ad)

A small power equipment company with $1.5 billion in orders is flying under the radar - but not for long. When the SpaceX and xAI S-1 filing hits the SEC in June, analysts will comb through supplier disclosures and this company's name is expected to surface. Dylan Jovine has identified the ticker and laid out the full investment thesis. The stock is still quiet - but that window may be closing fast.tc pixel
