Analyst consensus
The average analyst recommendation, on a scale from 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell).
How to read it
Lower is more bullish. The investment score scores 1.6 best and 4.0 worst, with a small weight.
How to use it
Context for sentiment: an improving average while the price lags can mark a turn in expectations.
Limitations
Sell ratings are rare, so most companies sit between 1.5 and 3; a change in the average says more than its level.
