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.

From the man who predicted 2008 crash… (Ad)

Porter Stansberry, founder of one of the largest financial research firms in the world, says he's breaking the biggest story of his 26-year career - an economic shift not seen since 1776. From the government taking stakes in Intel, Lithium Americas, and MP Materials, to sweeping political changes reshaping the economy, Stansberry argues a rare 'New 1776 Moment' is already underway. One Nobel Prize winner calls it a dividing line for all of society. His presentation covers the stocks to buy, the stocks to sell, and three money moves to position yourself on the right side of this shift.tc pixel
