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.

The dollar reset no one told you about (Ad)

Porter Stansberry says a dollar reset is underway - one that has happened only once before in America's 250-year history, back in 1974 with a secret Saudi deal that reshaped an entire generation's wealth. Today, a landmark treaty called Pax Silica - signed by 13 nations in December 2025 and barely covered in the press - is at the center of what Fortune calls 'the biggest change to the world's relationship with the dollar' in a generation. The stocks to buy, the assets to avoid, and the moves to consider are outlined in Stansberry's new briefing.tc pixel
