analyst ratings

Analyst ratings are evaluations provided by financial experts who analyze a company's financial health, growth prospects, and market conditions to recommend whether investors should buy, hold, or sell its stock. These ratings help investors understand the potential risk and return associated with a stock. Common ratings include "Buy," suggesting the stock is a good investment; "Hold," meaning it's reasonable to keep the stock; and "Sell," indicating it's likely to underperform. While useful, these ratings are opinions based on research and are not guarantees of future performance.
