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.

Recent institutional activity shows a trend of selling, with B. Metzler seel. Sohn & Co. AG reducing its stake by 7.8% and NS Partners Ltd cutting its holdings by 4.0% during the second quarter, which may signal a lack of confidence among large investors.
Company insiders have been actively selling shares, including CEO Scott J. Lauber who sold 8,089 shares in February 2026 and Director Ulice Payne Jr. who sold 980 shares in August 2026, which can be interpreted as a negative signal regarding internal valuation.
