Analyst ratings and price targets serve as professional opinions based on extensive research and financial models. While these insights can offer valuable perspectives, they are built on assumptions that may not always materialize. Investors should consider a range of factors, including company fundamentals, competitive positioning, and industry trends, rather than relying solely on analyst views. It is also important to note that ratings can evolve as new information becomes available, leading to varying opinions from different analysts.
