Analysts generally rate stocks in three categories:
When an analyst recommends “BUY”, they believe the stock will beat the market. Some analysts also refer to the term “buy” as Overweight or Outperform.
When analysts do not expect a stock to perform better or worse than the market, they can suggest a “Hold” for that stock. It is not recommended to buy or sell a stock based on a Hold rating. Holds can also be called equal weights or market performance by analysts.
Analysts rate stocks as “Sell” when they believe they will fall short of the market. Although it is uncommon for analysts to rate stocks as “Sell”, underperform and underweight may also be used instead of “Sell”.
