Analysts place the assessment on a stock of whether is is a strong sell through a strong buy (or, depending on the financial institution that is doing the analysis, it could market perform, under perform, or accumulate or whatever - but it basically is a 5 level assessment). In many cases, and it should be always if the analysts are doing a good job of looking at a company, its suppliers, its market/sector/etc., there really shouldn't be much adjustment as it should be built into their current assessment - that is, whatever that guy researching this company figures out its potential or lack thereof, it should be reflected in their current assessment. Houses that change their assessment after the fact aren't really following those companies, but rather just providing some form of current guess.
