Consensus Rating: The average of analysts recommendations for a single entity. As many brokers have different ratings systems, their recommendations must be standardized so that a consensus can be calculated. The Thomson Financial I/B/E/S ratings are calculated using a standard set of recommendations, maintained by Thomson Financial I/B/E/S, each with an assigned numeric value:

1 = Strong Buy
2 = Buy
3 = Hold
4 = Underperform
5 = Sell

Mean Recommendation Each recommendation received from the analysts is mapped to one of the Thomson Financial I/B/E/S standard ratings. Assigning a numeric value to the broker text enables Thomson Financial I/B/E/S to calculate a consensus recommendation. This consensus recommendation appears as the mean (average) of the assigned values. The color coding assigns a value of Very Positive to Very Negative. The Color Key, below, indicates the assigned values and a possible explanation for the rating. However, it is important to note that each value should be looked at in combination with other factors.
