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 stock has shown volatility, with a beta of 0.94, which means it is slightly less volatile than the market, but still subject to fluctuations that could impact investment returns.
  • Despite recent growth, the price-to-earnings ratio of around 19.30 suggests that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
  • Insider selling activity has been noted, with significant shares sold recently, which may raise concerns about the confidence of company executives in the stock's future performance.
