Analyst opinions are ratings recommendations and other associated content provided by third parties. Fidelity offers Analyst opinions from independent research firms to give you a wealth of professional, targeted information about the stock you are researching. Analyst opinions are intended to help investors better understand the potential for a company’s stock to increase or decrease in its value and determine if it maybe investment-worthy by evaluating its financial conditions, business environments, management, etc. Analyst opinions are provided for educational purposes only and do not constitute advice, guidance or recommendations by Fidelity.
Opinions vary because they are derived using a variety of criteria that are as different and distinct as the firm performing the analysis. Fidelity.com provides access to both the actual opinions and standardized opinions from Investars. Actual opinions are provided by the research firm, which often differ from firm to firm. For example, one firm’s opinion of Strong Buy may be the equivalent to another's opinion of Overweight. Ultimately their purpose is to provide a buy, hold, or sell opinion of the company being analyzed.
Fidelity goes one step further by offering a Relative Accuracy Score and Equity Summary Score from StarMine.
The Equity Summary Score and Sentiment is a single stock rating calculated by an independent third party, StarMine, to provide a consolidated view of the ratings from a number of independent research providers on Fidelity.com. Historically, the maximum number of providers has been between 10 and 12. However, some stocks are not rated by all research providers. Since the model uses a number of ratings to arrive at an Equity Summary Score, only stocks that have four or more firms rating them have an Equity Summary Score. StarMine uses the providers’ relative, historical, recommendation performance along with other factors to give you an aggregate, accuracy-weighted indication of the independent research firms’ stock sentiment.

GMI Ratings publishes Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings on approximately 6,000 companies worldwide to provide an independent assessment of the sustainable investment value of public companies. These ratings incorporate 150 KeyMetrics® focused on material risks to sustainability. The ESG company rating is expressed as Low Risk (Green), Average Risk (Yellow) or High Risk (Red). Similarly, an ESG industry rating serves to measure risk based on a comparison between the company's risk levels in each ESG component area relative to its industry peers. The weights used in the analysis are sensitive to regional and sector-dependent variations, creating a relative weighting structure, which is distinct from other ESG methodologies.
The GMI Accounting and Governance Risk (AGR®) Score & Rating is widely recognized as an indicator of the confidence level surrounding a company’s management and reported financials. Scores range from 0 to 100, and correspond to a risk classification for each company ranging from “Very Aggressive” to “Conservative.” The AGR Score is a percentile ranking among the approximately 8000 companies rated by Audit Integrity. Through continued back-testing, Audit Integrity has demonstrated a strong correlation between its quarterly AGR® Score and the likelihood of adverse events, including securities class action litigation, financial restatements, regulatory enforcement actions, and stock price declines. Thus, a company's AGR® Score can help investors looking to manage risk or enhance investment performance. Audit Integrity forensically analyzes the financial reporting and governance practices of over 8,000 North American-based publicly traded companies.
The Compare table provides a snapshot view of the security's fundamentals to the average of its industry, and provides its percentile rank within the industry, relative to its peers.
The Industry Average and Percentile Rank methodology is based on the daily list of U.S. equity securities in each industry to which a company belongs, as determined by Standard & Poor’s. S&P uses the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS)SM, an industry classification system developed by S&P in collaboration with Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI).
A company is assigned to a single GICS sub-industry according to the definition of its principal business activity as determined by Standard & Poor’s and MSCI. Revenues are a significant factor in defining principal business activity; however, earnings analysis and market perception are also important criteria for classification.
Securities are first grouped into their respective S&P GIC Industry, null values are removed and then the percentile is computed. The percentile is the value of a variable below which a certain percent of observations fall. So the 20th percentile is the value (or score) below which 20 percent of the observations may be found. Sometimes, being in the 100th percentile is not the best for items such as Debt to Capital Ratio where a lower number means less debt. Therefore, being in the 1st percentile indicates lower debt than its peers in the industry.
The Industry Average is a market cap-weighted average of the non-null values in the industry.
To show a more meaningful average, the following data points values are removed from the universe when the value is negative to remove the outliers: Current Ratio (TTM), Income/Employee (TTM), Revenue/Employee (TTM); and Dividend Yield (TTM). While "zero" is valid for numerous items, the intent is to show the average for those that have actual results. Thus, if discussing dividends, the goal is to show that for all companies paying dividends.
