BankUnited - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Man behind OpenAI makes shocking new bet (Ad)

Billionaire Sam Altman has become one of the most powerful men in the world by running OpenAI… But there’s a far lesser known investment he’s making that could put OpenAI to shame. In fact this Sam Altman-backed company could actually become a crucial partner for OpenAI… And the US Military… not to mention hundreds of other giant companies around the globe. To make the story even crazier… this company only recently became viable, thanks to an obscure piece of legislation that President Trump signed before he left office… Which ordered the government to take this incredible new technology seriously.
