A consensus broker recommendation may or may not be a whole number. This is a result of taking the average of all broker recommendations. Please note that each individual broker/analyst recommendation is stated in whole numbers, therefore, 1,2,3,4 or 5. The average of all broker recommendations may then not appear as a whole number, for example, a rating of 2.5.
The total number of analysts contributing recommendations for the stated period.
