Needham: analyst accuracy FAQ
How accurate are Needham analysts?
Across 21 ranked analysts, Needham's rated stocks beat their sector 33% of the time over the next 12 months, and their price targets are reached 40% of the time. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
How does Quantellect score analyst accuracy?
We enter each rating at the closing price on or after the call date, with no look-ahead, then measure the 12-month return above the stock's sector ETF and check whether the price target was reached. Scores are shrunk toward the population average and corrected for multiple testing, so they reflect repeatable skill rather than luck.
Analyst ratings and Q Scores are provided for informational purposes only, not investment advice. Scores are estimates derived from publicly published ratings and price targets, marked to end-of-day market data, and may be revised as new calls are published or methodology is updated. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
