| Analyst Estimates, Ratings, & Recommendations |
| Analyst estimates and ratings are frequently used by investors to help make a judgment about the future prospects of a stock. The stock price can rise or fall significantly if earnings come in above or below analyst consensus estimates. This information can be found for free on a majority of financial websites. Typically, financial sites will provide high, low and consensus or average estimates for earnings and revenues. The top sites offer earnings and revenue estimates not only for the current year, but also for the next few years. Furthermore, superior websites report analyst buy, hold and sell ratings and track these ratings over time, allowing users to easily see trends. |
