Upgrades (30d) counts how many times a Wall Street analyst raised their rating on this one stock in the last 30 days — e.g. Hold → Buy, or Sell → Hold. It's a plain count of rating improvements, not the rating itself: a value above zero means at least one firm turned more positive on the name recently.
Sell-side analysts publish a rating (Buy / Hold / Sell, or house-specific labels like Outperform / Neutral / Underperform). When an analyst moves that rating up a notch, it's an upgrade; down a notch, a downgrade. This metric tallies only the upgrades for this ticker in a trailing 30-day window. Several upgrades clustered in a short span can mark a shift in how the professional community sees the stock — often around earnings, a product event, or a strategy change.
Example (illustrative): if three different firms each raised this stock from Hold to Buy over the past month, Upgrades (30d) reads 3. A reading of 0 simply means no analyst raised their rating in that window — it does not mean anyone downgraded it.
An upgrade is when a sell-side analyst raises their rating on the stock a notch — for example Hold to Buy, or Sell to Hold. Upgrades (30d) counts only these rating improvements for this ticker over the trailing 30 days.
No. The upgrade/downgrade shift is an index-wide net figure ((upgrades − downgrades) / total across the S&P 500). Upgrades (30d) is a simple per-ticker count of upgrades for one stock.
