McDonald's · Restaurants. Historical grades below use the calls in this ledger. The list is each analyst’s latest recommendation. The bar under it is the direction for grading, not a live street tally.
Direction for grading, from the latest active call of each analyst. Strong Buy, Buy, Overweight, and Outperform count as Buy. Hold, Neutral, and Equal-Weight count as Hold. Underperform, Underweight, and Sell count as Sell. The recommendation on the call — Target raise, Upgrade to Buy, Reiterate Overweight — is a separate label.

GC 1–4. Under 40 is WEAK on the GC Scale.
The overall factor is the average of the 0–100 grades on active calls at this horizon. A call superseded by a later note on the same ticker within 90 days stays visible and does not enter this average, the GC score, or the hit rate. How this is computed
