The Equity Summary Score provides a consolidated view of the ratings from a number of independent research providers on Fidelity.com. Historically, the maximum number of providers has been between 10 and 12. However, some stocks are not rated by all research providers. Since the model uses a number of ratings to arrive at an Equity Summary Score, only stocks that have four or more firms rating them have an Equity Summary Score. It uses the providers’ relative, historical, recommendation performance along with other factors to give you an aggregate, historical accuracy‐weighted indication of the independent research firms’ stock sentiment.
