MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). 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.

Rickards Predicts: Trump to buy tiny $2 stock? (Ad) Jim Rickards believes the Trump administration is about to take a direct stake in a $2 stock sitting on the largest mineral reserve in the country - enough gold for a new Fort Knox, enough copper to rebuild the U.S. electric grid 25 times over. The Trump administration has previously staked positions in MP Materials, Lithium America, Trilogy Metals, and USA Rare Earth - each time shares moved higher. A landmark policy decision expected before November 3 could reprice this stock from $2 to $20 or more within a year. Click here to see why Rickards believes this stock is next
