What is Analyst Consensus?

The average opinion of professional stock analysts

Full Explanation

Wall Street analysts publish "Buy", "Hold", or "Sell" ratings and price targets on stocks. The consensus is the average view across all analysts covering that stock.

Pro Tip

Consensus upgrades (from Hold to Buy) often push stocks up. Downgrades can tank them.
