FYI: Last week we published a post looking at the number of analyst ratings per stock by market cap. On average, a large-cap stock has 21.2 analyst ratings per stock versus just 6.2 for small-cap stocks.
Below we take a look at average analyst ratings per stock by sector. If we had to guess which sector had the most coverage, we would almost certainly guess Technology. That’s not the case, though. In reality, the Energy sector has the most coverage, and it’s not really close. Across the S&P 1500, which includes large caps, mid caps, and small caps, the average Energy stock has 20.4 analyst ratings per stock. The Consumer Staples sector is the next closest at 14.5.
