Average analyst rating explanation:

If the average rating is close to 5, that means most analysts rate the stock as a sell. Conversely, if the average rating is close to 1, most analysts have a "buy" or "strong buy" rating. In summary, analyst ratings are often aggregated into a single score on a scale of 1–5.
