Quant vs Street three independent views, side by side

StockVane factor grade
C+
Momentum strategy signal
Hold
Analyst consensus
Buy

Mostly aligned, one view stands apart.

Not investment advice. The factor grade ranks this stock on fundamentals against StockVane's covered universe; the momentum strategy signal is a rules-based backtest, not a recommendation; analyst consensus reflects sell-side coverage. The three use different methods and can reasonably disagree.
