TipRanks is ok. I'm on Bloomberg and they also have an analyst ranking system. Qualitative weighting tips: 1. Bulge bracket analysts tend to have more weight on average (e.g. your goldman and citi analysts) than others because their clients are buy-side institutions (hedge funds, mutual funds, etc.) 2. Some analysts are in firms that include large asset management arms -- think Morgan Stanley, Bofa, etc. -- where the internal portfolio managers will have a universe defined by the stock rating of their equity research analyst; this adds an element to their weight 3. There are "star" analysts who have very deep relationships with management -- their stock rating might be very skewed, but their opinion matters a lot, especially if there is a major inflection Some other notes: 1. When sentiment is high on a stock, bad news has a smaller impact -- and vice versa 2. 4wk change in revisions is a great indicator of improving conditions for the company (increase odds of a beat & raise)
%% Its a bit misleading because , say, its a big sell off /bad earnings or big buy day; as long as they enter a rating by midnight or something like that, its counted that day, even if after market close...............................................................................
