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.

Trump Is Eyeing the Biggest Monetary Shift Since Nixon (Ad) On August 15, 1971, Nixon ended the Bretton Woods agreement and untethered the dollar from gold. Since that night, the dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power - and retirement savers have absorbed the cost. U.S. Code Title 31, Section 5117 gives the Treasury authority to reprice America's gold reserves from $42 per ounce to today's market value - a gap of 107x. More than 60 million Americans can move into physical gold inside a retirement account, tax-free and penalty-free. Download the free 2026 Gold Guide to see how it works
