Overview
What is Analyst Ratings on MrChart?
Analyst ratings show what research desks on Wall Street have published about a stock: the rating, the action behind it, whether an upgrade, a downgrade or a first rating, and the firm and analyst who wrote it. MrChart collects these calls in one feed and credits every one to its source.
A rating is one professional opinion, not a verdict. Here you can filter the feed by rating, action, firm or sector, open a stock to see its stance mix, and open a firm or an analyst to see how active they are. Third-party targets are shown with their author and date.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What are analyst ratings?
They are opinions published by research firms about a stock, such as upgrades, downgrades and price targets. They are views from a third party, and MrChart reports them with attribution rather than endorsing them.
Do analyst ratings predict stock prices?
No rating guarantees an outcome, and analysts are sometimes wrong. Treat them as one input beside the company's numbers, its news and your own research.
How do I read an upgrade or a downgrade?
An upgrade means the firm moved its rating more positive, and a downgrade means it moved more cautious. Check the firm, the date and the reason given, since the context matters more than the label.
