To calculate the Mean Recommendation, the number of recommendations for a given rating is multiplied by its factor (1 thru 5, as shown below), the totals are summed, and the average is then calculated by dividing the sum by the total number of recommendations received for the period. The table shows the mean historical analyst recommendation for the current period, along with the previous 1, 2, and 3 periods. Above the chart, you will find the 12-Month High, Mean, and Low Target Prices from analysts who provided ratings. The chart at the top shows a one-year chart for the symbol, with Earnings highlighted. Analyst Ratings typically are tied into analysis of Earnings Estimates and Earnings Estimates Revisions.

Unlike Barchart Opinions (which calculate the Buy/Sell rating using a variety of short-medium and long-term technical indicators), the Analyst Ratings are more of a short-term indicator that gives you a feel for how outside industry experts are weighing in on a stock. Analyst Ratings are available for US and Canadian equities. Barchart provides Analyst Ratings to give you another tool to gauge the possible future performance of a stock.
