MarketBeat uses the average return on investment of a research firm's "buy" and "strong buy" recommendations over the last five years to determine a firm's rating. The firms with the best-performing recommendations receive a five-star rating. Firms that have issued fewer than ten tracked research notes in the last five years will not be ranked. Where does MarketBeat get its ratings data? MarketBeat makes use of more than thirty different data sources to compile its ratings database. Many brokers report their ratings to MarketBeat directly. We also track equities research notes using various private data-feeds and public media mentions. MarketBeat keeps track of more than 125,000 ratings changes each year and offers the most comprehensive coverage of stock ratings available. How quickly are ratings available on MarketBeat after they're released? The gap of time between when a research note is published and when it's broadly available online can vary from broker to broker. Because we make use of dozens of data-sources, we can generally report on ratings before they are broadly recognized by the market and before they are widely reported in the financial news media. Does MarketBeat offer data in Excel or CSV Format? Yes. MarketBeat All Access subscribers can export table data from the MarketBeat website to excel or CSV format. There is also a dedicated "export data" page that allows users to export up to 6 months of recent dividend, earnings, insider trading, and ratings data. What does MarketRank mean? Our MarketRank evaluates every stock across seven distinct categories: Analyst's Opinion, Short Interest, Dividend Strength, Sustainability & ESG, News and Social Media Coverage, Company Ownership, and Earnings and Valuation. This comprehensive approach ensures a holistic view of a company's standing in the market. MarketRank is calculated by averaging the scores of available categories, with additional emphasis placed on analysis and valuation to reflect their critical importance. This weighted average is then compared against others to determine each company's rank.All companies listed on MarketBeat.com have their rank updated in real-time, reflecting changes in category data throughout the trading day. This system provides investors with timely information, allowing for informed decisions based on specific categories of interest or the overall rank of each company.
