Upgrades and downgrades by analysts can have a significant impact on the price of a stock. Stocks like these can be profitable over the short term, but wrong evaluations can result in a loss of capital.
An analyst’s rating of a stock is divided into three tiers:
Analysts who rate stocks BUY believe the stock will outperform the market. A BUY rating may also be described as overweight or outperform by an analyst.
An analyst rating of “Hold” implies that the stock will perform similarly to the market as a whole. Stocks with a hold rating are not recommended for sale or purchase at this time. Other names for HOLD ratings include Market Perform and Equal Weight.
In a Sell rating, analysts predict a stock’s value will decrease. The majority of analysts like to rate stocks positively or neutrally rather than categorizing them as sells. Additionally, “Sell” ratings can be expressed as “Underweight” or “Underperform”.
