New issued research recommendations and target prices always supersede previously published research.
Deutsche Bank equity research analysts sometimes have shorter-term trade ideas (known as Catalyst Calls) that are consistent or inconsistent with Deutsche Bank's existing longer term ratings. If applicable, the historical information for these ideas can be found in the Catalyst Call section on this page.
Long Term Recommendation Key
|
|
| Buy |
Based on a current 12-month view of total shareholder return (TSR = percentage change in share price from current price to projected target price plus projected dividend yield), we recommend that investors buy the stock. |
| Hold |
We take a neutral view on the stock 12-months out and, based on this time horizon, do not recommend either a Buy or Sell. |
| Sell |
Based on a current 12-month view of total shareholder return, we recommend that investors sell the stock. |
| Not Rated |
There is no investment rating and target price for this security. |
| Suspended |
The investment rating and price target, if any, for this security, have been suspended. The previous investment rating and price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this security and should not be relied upon. |
| N/A |
Deutsche Bank may choose not to set or maintain a target price of certain issuers under coverage with a Hold rating. In particular, this will typically occur for "Hold" rated stocks having a market cap smaller than most other companies in its sector or region. |
Catalyst Call (Short Term) Recommendation Key

| Sell |
Represents a high-conviction belief by an analyst that a stock will underperform the market and/or a specified sector over a time frame of no less than two weeks and no more than three months. |
Legacy Americas Catalyst Call Recommendation Key
In July 2018, Deutsche Bank revised its rating system for short term ideas whereby the branding has been changed to Catalyst Calls ("CC") from SOLAR ideas; the rating categories for Catalyst Calls originated in the Americas region have been made consistent with the categories used by Analysts globally; and the effective time period for CCs has been reduced from a maximum of 180 days to 90 days.

Equity Rating Dispersion Chart Key
The Equity Rating Dispersion Chart depicts the following:
- The proportion of recommendations that are rated "buy", "sell" and "hold" over the previous 12 months. This is shown for securities issued in the stated region E.g. "Europe Universe". See rating definitions below. This is represented by the "Companies Covered" bars in the chart. The percentage value displayed on the y axis is the proportion as a percentage. E.g. a bar measuring 50% on the y axis means that 50% of DB’s equity research covered companies over the past 12 months have a “buy” rating.
-
Next to each of the three respective bars showing the proportion of "buy", "sell" and "hold" recommendations we provide two additional bars to show:
- The proportion of "buy", "sell" or "hold recommendations where Deutsche Bank and or/Affiliates provided MIFID Investment or Ancillary Services in the past 12 months. This is represented in the "MIFID Investment and Ancillary Services" bars. The percentage value displayed on the y axis is the proportion of Companies Covered with the given rating where DB has also provided MIFID Investment and Ancillary Services in the past 12 months. E.g. 50% a bar measuring 50% on the y axis means 50% of the Companies Covered with the rating stated have also received MIFID Investment and Ancillary Services from DB.
- The proportion of "buy" (or "sell" or "hold) recommendations where Deutsche Bank and or/Affiliates has provided Investment Banking services in the past 12 months for which it has received compensation. This is represented in the "Cos. w/ Investment Banking Relationship" bars. The percentage value displayed on the y axis shows the proportion of Companies Covered with the stated rating where DB has also provided Investment Banking services in the past 12 months. E.g. 50% on the y axis the means 50% of the Companies Covered with the rating stated also have an Investment Banking Relationship with DB.
