Question When an analyst upgrade a stock from equal- weight to overweight.
What equal- weight and overweight mean?
Thanks.
Answer Analysts have various ratings scales. Equal weight means market weight. In other words they expect the stock to move more or less with the market, neither better not worse.
I would not put too much weight on what analysts say if I were you.
